Is there a proposal for who would maintain it; or what kind of
"(volunteer) job spec" the Council needs to advertise to get someone
to step up? Have we already got a volunteer?

Certainly the Council can advertise that developers should rely on it
(and/or get X-Fade to add warnings/blocks to the promotion process for
QML applications if they don't have it as a dependency [how could
these packages be identified?]); but I don't think the Council wants
to be the maintainer of the package itself.

Cheers,

Andrew
