let me be very clear on this:
i think your idea is nice however a revival procedure is already in progress.
you may help out on certain issues of the coin but a complete re-release of the wallet on github is something we wont allow and is not needed ( except for the heartbleed for which we have an update ).
the original developer ( me ) is not gone. you can see it like i am having a holiday currently ( as is stated on the original website ).
in a couple of weeks i will be back.
the problem is not coin software etc. the problem is sell walls and marketing + additional services need to be revived ( p2pool software, foundation and multibit, android ).
if you can help with these, sure, go ahead.. i can even provide you with problem descriptions and what i have done so far.
we have never been completely gone.
just very busy times at work etc.
