Hi Brendan,
seems I'm a bit late to the party... "You are lost in a maze of mailing lists, all of which flow over" ;)
I'd like to take over or co-maintain a couple of packages related to Ardour, and/or which I'm using myself. The old 'ardour' package should simply be retired, feel free to throw it to me over the fence, or do it yourself :).

If any one is interested in taking over primary maintainer-ship of the anything from following list please do so (with the exception of anything in the lv2 stack, qtractor, qmidiarp and guitarix)
- a2jmidid, hydrogen, jaaa: use it occasionally
- ardour: superseded by 'ardour2', needs retiring. I'm already co- maintainer, but AIUI only the "main contact" can retire a package
- aubio: dependency of Ardour (and denemo), should be updated to 0.4.x.
- jack-audio-connection-kit: essential for Ardour (and other things)
- libffado: I have audio interfaces that require this, so I might just as well take it ;)
- liblo, liblrdf, libsamplerate, lilv, lv2, serd, sord, sratom, suil: dependencies of Ardour
Feel free to make me "main contact" for all your packages of which I am package admin or have requested it -- some have other admins already, perhaps you want to ask them also?
