Your not lazy Narf, some people just want everything right now.

They should see how EllisLab use to maintain CodeIgniter.

EllisLab may've put some bureaucracy in the process in the sense that critical decisions had to go through them, but other than that it was pretty much the same thing - people's expectations about them was the real problem.
They did the right thing when they decided to give it to someone else, yet instead of praising them, people lost their collective shit.

Stop worrying about the formal owners, a community project is maintained by a community.
