I have been a bit out of Kphotoalbum development recently, so I
wouldn't suggest myself
as a candidate right now. But I'd suggest that all (half-)active
kphotoalbum developers and supporters
should come together, maybe via a video conference-style Google+
hangout (works for everyone), so that we can chat
a bit about the future and responsibilities to get this kick-started.

I just started a Kphotoalbum circle (Right now only Jesper, Risto and
me) that I shared on Google+ - Just add
me to your circles on Google+ so that I can add you to that circle if
wished. You find me under
  https://plus.google.com/u/0/113917390722624035964/posts

Then, we can organize a video hangout next weekend (works probably
best with the spread of timezones).

And KPA is an awesome, still unmatched tool! Using it almost every other day.
