Asking for additional maintainers, yes. I will put it on the proposed
feature list and we'll do it when we can, or when a coder writes the
code, basically.
Docs started but not finished are given the status "Pending" in
Lampadas, so that feature is already there. You could run a report of
Pending documents, sorted by their creation date, to see what docs
seem to be dead.
Docs that are abandoned are marked "unmaintained", and each document
has a license assigned, so you can also pull that list already.
