I think Stan did, among other things. As I recall, he realized that
he wasn't in a position to maintain things properly and stepped back
from that role. No one picked up it up since then.
I am interested in the future of the remote protocol, and remote.c and
gdbserver by extension. I am the remote.c co-maintainer, and have
been known to hack on gdbserver from time to time. But mainly that's
minor cleanup and adding support for additional NetBSD ports.

I'm not sure I'm up to the task of taking on gdbserver on a full time
basis, but as a blanket-write-priv maintainer and given my interests
with remote, I'll certainly help you along.

This has been a outstanding issue for some time.
