A few years ago I was at a conference where one of the Linux kernel  
devs did an 'adopt a driver' talk, discussing how drivers ended up  
without maintainers, how other people could take them over, what was  
involved, and why it is useful.  I think maintaining a GAP app is  
probably a bit easier than maintaining a Linux driver, so possibly  
it's worth doing a similar talk and seeing if you can get some new  
maintainers?
