This is open-source and volunteers piece of work.
For someone to take over a project like no-atun it is not needed for the 
current maintainer to drop his work, it is needed for another to step up. And 
when that works out the original maintainer will do less and less.

So, while you _might_ have a point that Charles is not providing the proper 
support for a program he supports  you should instead find man-power to fix 
the program, and not get personal on Charles's account.

I believe this is axactly what Uwe was pointing to as well.
