As far as I know, no one is maintaining it since I stopped doing so.  I
asked for volunteers to take over, which resulted in quite a few people
offering to do so, put them in contact with people in charge of the
website, saw a few emails back and forth ... and that's as far as it got.

Perhaps the whole thing got lost in the site redesign, and now people in
charge of the Python website would be more receptive to a volunteer
stepping up ...
