I received the following reply from Grégoire (which, although it 
was sent to the mailing list as well, apparently didn't show up 
there):

I don't use this package anymore.
If anyone uses it, s/he take over it, otherwise we can just remove 
it
from org-contrib.

==================================================

Like I said, I'd be happy to take over maintainance. Just let me 
know how to go about making it available to org-contrib. (If there 
is a way to keep the file in the main Ebib repository, that would 
be my preference.)
