Are you sure he's not active?  It doesn't take much work to keep an old
subsystem like this alive, last I remember, real changes were accepted
just fine.

Perhaps just don't send coding style cleanups to old subsystems?  :)

I would not take these unless Karsten agrees that he no longer wants to
maintain this.
