Thanks Benedikt.

Mousepad was really an experiment for me, and as everyone has noticed,
I haven't had much (read: any) time to maintain it since the last
release.

As much as I'd like to work on Mousepad, I simply don't have the time.
If there is anyone (who isn't Benny, Olivier, Jasper, or Brian, and
thus too busy maintaining stuff that I use) will to take over primary
maintainership, I'll happily cede my authority.

Frankly, it needs to be rewritten/heavily refactored as the Leafpad
source was a rat's nest. There is some work in a branch but it's
mostly just fiddling.
