R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Any module without a listed maintainer is maintained by the community as a 
whole (as it says in the introduction).  The fact that a module does not have a 
listed maintainer does not mean it is dead, and I don't think anyone(except 
you? :) thinks that.  All modules are listed for completeness, and so that it 
is obvious which modules it would be most helpful if someone with an interest 
put themselves down as expert for (as Giampaolo has just done for ftplib).

Algorithms was listed as an interested area as a result of a brainstorming 
session for interest areas.  I think we had Raymond in mind :).  If no one has 
chosen to be listed, that line should probably be deleted.

I think perhaps the name chosen for the file was unfortunate.  I view it more 
as the 'experts' file, rather than the maintainers file, though in some cases 
the expert is indeed the principle maintainer of the module (such as Vinay for 
logging).
