Gilles, A suggestion from the peanut gallery. Look into the offered contributions and grow the community should these prove merit. Avoiding these contributions assures that you are the one who actually wants CM to be dormant..
If POI had not done this over the years the project would be dormant. Instead the active group other than Nick turns over every 3 to 5 years. Apache requires a community. Get it, grow it.
