Here here!
It was a pleasure to work with you, Gopal, Norbert and everyone else involved. I thoroughly enjoyed all the work we did together. The memories of late nights coding and chatting on IRC make me nostalgic.
The code base still remains one of the best I've ever had the privilege of working with and I'm very proud to have been a part of it.
Cheers
Thong (Tum) Hi Karl, As the original maintainer of DotGNU Portable.NET, I am happy for the project to be put on hold. If another maintainer wants to take things on, then that would be fantastic but I unfortunately no longer have the time to work on it.
Thanks to everyone who helped on pnet back in the day - I am proud of what we accomplished with a small number of highly motivated individuals. The source code will remain a testament to that, even without the official GNU moniker. I am also very proud of Aleksey for running with libjit and making that project so successful in my absence.
Cheers, Rhys Weatherley. On Sun, Dec 16, 2012 at 8:49 AM, Karl Berry <address@hidden> wrote:

rms and I are seeking feedback on officially decommissioning dotgnu. As
far as we can tell, the project has been moribund for quite a while,
with one exception: libjit. Aleksey Demakov has still been working on
libjit, and rms has recently made that a separate package under its own
name. Neither we nor Aleksey are aware of any other recent dotgnu
development. We have not gotten replies to queries over the last few
months to various individuals and lists (some of which are on this
mail).
So, barring replies to the contrary, we plan to mark the dotgnu and
dotgnu-pnet (and dotgnu-forum) packages as decommissioned. The sources
and web pages will stay around, with suitable notices; we'll move the
releases on ftp.gnu.org to the old-gnu/ area.
Thus, if anyone comes forward with time and willingness to revive the
project, that can easily be done. But for now, it seems best to
recognize what is (as best we can tell) the reality.
Please let me know if we have missed notable information about any of
this. Please reply to me individually and address@hidden, no need
to multiply the thread on all the lists.
Thanks,
Karl (on behalf of rms and GNU)
