Would anyone be interested in taking on the role of maintaining Views 1? The fact that it is a completely different piece of software from Views 2 makes it very difficult for me to spend much time on it, and there are lots of patches and bugfixes that it could stand to have used. Please be aware that such a maintainership would be no small task, but you would have the interesting (and maybe terrifying) responsibility for a piece of software that is used across almost all of Drupal.
