Yes, previous maintainer evidently is too busy elsewhere currently, but 
there's no dispute (that I am aware) so voting doesn't help. Instead, 
someone needs to step up and join the maintenance of jquery.

Since you are interested in the quite related jquery-ui, perhaps you 
could also help with jquery?

(I have little interest in jquery-based code myself)
