Thanks for the quick reply. if you would like to, we can co-maintain Xmonad. I've been using it for six months now and became such an invaluable tool that Os X aqua interface sucks when I use it :)
I will be pretty busy until the end of the year, because I just landed a new job abroad and I'm in the process of relocating, bUt i'll have plenty of spare time this winter to hack on Xmonad.
I have great plans for our lovely window manager, including:
1) a new website, the current is nice but too geeky and "old". Capturing user interest through a cool website is very important imho
2) move Xmonad repo to github. this may sound heretical, but a lot of people (me included) are put off by Darcs. Git and github is such an effective tool that can't be ignored any longer. Furthermore, there is a lot of hype this days for osxmonad, which apparently build upon Xmonad, reusing it as much as possible. They are on github too. Working thightly with them we could create a family of product, with a bulk core (microkernel) and different adaption layer according to the Os (linux rather then mac os x)

fork of both XMonad and XMonadContrib here:
https://github.com/reenberg/xmonad
https://github.com/reenberg/XMonadContrib
Jesper Reenberg is in charge and we're patching bugs in our spare
time. We're both running this version daily (it's not bug free, but
it's stable "enough").
