Framebuffer-HOWTO appears to be unmaintained



No luck getting a contact for the Framebuffer-HOWTO, as the bounced mail
below shows. I tried the author and the "feedback" contact, which were
different guys, but both addresses are dead.

Do we have an agreed upon policy or procedure for dealing with these
situations? At what point do we decide the document is unmaintained? How
do we determine a new maintainer, or is it just the first person who
volunteers?

There are several "contributors" listed, so we could probably try them,
and see if any of them wish to take over maintainership.
