If i counted correctly, 3 people offered to either maintain gnome-games 
or help with the maintenance (Jason, Richard and you) and other people 
expressed intention to help in various ways, so maybe time is not the 
main problem,

to be imposed.

I will be brutal here: i find the gnome-games pretty boring, i use to 
play them mostly to test how bad my themes work with them (and yes, i 
like to play games).
