Personally, I would prefer to see it moved to github, where I find the tools are a bit better for this kind of collaboration (e.g. forking). But this project mostly seems to need a lead maintainer (and I, also, am not blaming Pekka - I imagine there has been an avalanche of changes and new directions at nokia in the past year or so). That someone is probably not me -- I'd be happy to submit fixes, and have some degree of knowledge of nta, but I don't think my knowledge is good enough at the moment to review bug fixes across the scope of the product.

I was often wondering who is responsible for Sofia. That would seem to be Pekka but he seems to be concerned with other things (I'm not blaming him, just pointing it out) and there's apparently nobody else? What I find a little bit odd is that the official branch of Sofia seems to have come to a halt although there seem to be lots of people using it. The question that bothers me is: Why didn't changes from these people flow back to the official version? (guess that's because Pekka is (the only?) maintainer and just didn't have the time). The FreeSwitch guys seem to do a good job but the I think the sofia-sip version in the FreeSwitch repo is to be considered a fork, not just a branch of the official repo? I think this library needs more maintainers.
