No, I'm not. But I'm currently maintaining my libgpm fork.
Of course would be great, if you'd accept it.

Would be quite large, since I removed many files, which aren't 
used for libgpm. I'm currently working on gpm without included
libgpm, but built against an external one.

My further plan is:

+ more tests on libgpm and patch some apps (ie. mc) to build
  against it (-> use pkg-config)
+ port the gpm server to it and remove the included libgpm
+ merge in newer patches
+ create an container with both, so people can build/install it
  as they used to.
