To be fair, we expected Chris to do more work on polipo as well. Chris does great work in other areas, it seems polipo has fallen down the priority list. Good thing git is easily cloned and can be migrated to a new location. If someone else wants to take over polipo, it seems you'll have some fans and help. >From Tor's perspective, polipo is a stop-gap until Firefox stops handling SOCKS in a blocking, fixed timeout manner.
