Yes, most of the people who got Privoxy this far from the old
Junkbuster days, have all had other demands, and just don't have the
time. And, no one has really stepped up to help make further
improvements. Andreas I believe has additions to his family, and more
pressing duties for the next 20 years or so. It isn't lack of wanting
to do more, its just lack of time, and lack of new blood on the
project to keep it going. Maybe this changes. I hope so. 

Coders wanted.
