Not at all, Timo is quite active. I don't intend to speak for him, but he
has indicated on this list before that his first goal is to get the existing
functionality working to his satisfaction so that 1.0 can be released, then
to add new features after that. Although 0.99.10.4 works very well, there
are some internal issues, especially with mbox (which I don't use), that he
knows need work.
