Project abandoned by originator?

The latest release was three years ago, and the latest commit was two years ago. Meanwhile, there are a multitude of issues and pull requests that go unnoticed. Presumably @chriskiehl has abandoned this project. However, the project seems to be popular, and there are many potential contributors. So my question is, could you, @chriskiehl let someone else take control of the project? Alternatively, if he does not answer, does anyone want to start a semi-official fork?
