Change of maintainer to Stefan Geschwentner. He did one commit 10.9. and then vanished totally! What in earth happened? Is it Komodo or LCZero teams trying to slow down progress may be :) .

Let's just hope everything is ok and he shows up soon. AFAIK, he has not contacted anyone and no one has been able to reach him. Hopefully, we hear some good news soon about his status. You would hope that he is on some sort of extended Holiday off the grid and he simply just forgot to tell anyone. The longer this goes, the more worrisome it is without any additional information forthcoming. As you mentioned, one commit made on September 10th. Stéphane Nicole stepped in and committed 5 patches on September 27. Currently 6 current patches in the queue since his first commit on Sep 10 and a few stale patches which Stéphane apparantly passed on.

I don't think this is a very good idea Jouni. Publishing somebody's personal phonenumber. Even if it is publicly available. If you had read in Fishcooking, Stephane Nicolet will try to contact his workplace this week.

are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
