If Ben lacks the time and/or interest to maintain rdiff-backup, is  
there anyone who is interested and capable of taking over?  If so, he  
could inquire if Ben is willing to hand over control.  If Ben doesn't  
want to hand over control, then the new maintainer could fork a new  
project using the rdiff-backup code.

I use rdiff-backup, and I hate to see it wither.
