The problem is the admin/owner has left and refuses to give access to
anyone else. The team has already decided to hard - fork, and is working
to get set up. Anyone interested in joining is welcome.
Contact me if interested.

In particular the author is not happy about the BCEL integration:
The other major reasons for the FindBugs current bad state:
1) The code is very complex, has "organically grown" over a decade, is
not documented and has poor public interfaces. Most of the code consists
of the very low level bytecode related stuff, tightly coupled with the
ancient BCEL library, which doesn't scale and is not multi-thread safe.
No one enjoys maintaining this code, at least not me. I see no future
for FindBugs with the BCEL approach, and see no way to get rid of it
without investing lot of effort, and without breaking every detector and
possibly many 3rd party tools. This is the biggest issue we have with
FindBugs today, and most likely the root cause for all the evil. This
code can't be fixed, it must be rewritten.
..but the main problem seems to be lack of maintaners.
