Offering to maintain Activity Log (activity_log)

I was about to create a similar project elsewhere, but this project looks virtually identical. I've contacted the current maintainer about this - see messages below. Here's some background: On November 1st, 2010, the current maintainer stated that he would begin new development, but this was 8 months ago, and nothing was ever committed. I'd like to bring it back to life with a 2.x branch, as I need this functionality for some work I'm doing.

Here are the messages I sent to the current maintainer:

Subject: [drupal.org] Status of Activity Log module

Greetings irakli,

What is the status of http://drupal.org/project/activity_log? It says that it's actively maintained, but I haven't seen any activity over a long period of time.

I'm asking because I have need for such a module, and am currently building something similar. The differences are the following:
* Trigger instead of Rules (for the moment at least)
* Nodes will be created rather than using a custom table. However, these records will be tiny (foreign key references), as they can be joined with information elsewhere. This gives us some things for free: Node creation timestamp & Views support.

My plan is to present this view as a feed so other sites can see what changed, query it over web services to grab new content, and then apply it locally. Basically, it's like http://drupal.org/project/deploy, but uses a pull model instead of a push model. For the destination end, I'll be writing some http://drupal.org/project/feeds plug-ins.

So in the interest of not creating too many modules in contrib, if you no longer wish to maintain Activity Log, I'd be happy to take it over instead of starting with something new.

Please let me know of your intentions.

Thanks!

...and here's a follow-up:

Subject: [drupal.org] Rules is the way to go

Just a quick update.... I realized that Rules is much better than Actions & Triggers. I'm going to see what's done in Activity Log and most likely expand on that. I'll take advantage of the work you guys already did.
