Thanks. I have some patches for gnome-screensaver too, which looks
like abandoned by its developers:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/log/

It's not used by GNOME any more, because they reimplemented the lock
screen within GDM and GNOME Shell. Could you take it over also?

Looks like I have green light for notification-daemon. I will probably add myself as maintainer tonight. Things with gnome-screensaver looks little bit more complicated:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2014-October/msg00088.html

Should we go with fork or add screensaver as part of gnome-flashback module?
