No, not me. Just I can ping as well or do more if needed.

But I do not have much time too. So if it is to not move to GitHub after,
I prefer not spending time on it.

I would have never dared to suggest moving the AVRDUDE project to a
Microsoft company :-)

Seriously, moving to Github would make a lot of things easier, and I think
the project would greatly benefit from this.
