If you have to ask who's in control, that means you're it. :-)

There isn't really anyone.  Kristján V. Jónsson has worked on it in
the trunk, but he hasn't been maintaining it in 3k IIRC.  It would be
really great if you took on the responsibility, made sure things work,
and provided patches when they didn't.  Bug reports are of course
helpful if you can't fix the problems.

Cheers,
