David,
Jason did refer to 'code'.  The above commit was adding some 'Canadian
English' support.  It looks like Jason is right, in that the last
code-related CVS activity in gnome-pilot-conduits was 10 months ago. 
Ditto for gnome-pilots.

This would be my attitude.  I spent some time figuring out the memo-file
issue, and gave them a hand by submitting a patch and emailing them
wherever I could.  Neither seemed helpful, judging from the complete
lack of _any_ response from any maintainer.

As Jason said, sorry to sound harsh, but I believe jpr has a duty as
maintainer either to appeal for someone else to become maintainer or
else to at least find time to test and commit submitted patches.

p.s. I know nothing about gnome programming so won't be volunteering,
but I don't believe that weakens the points we're raising.
