Adam,
Your code, your rules. If it's dead, it should be listed on the wiki  
as "abandonware/freeware", meaning someone else is welcome to pick it  
up if they want, but you're washing your hands of it (and dating the  
"abandonment"). I'd suggest putting that on it's sourceforge web page  
as well. Seeing as you're the only developer, you have complete  
ability to define its demise.

On another note... there are folks talking about a Cocoa GUI for  
tlmgr, if you are interested. It seems like you might have a lot of  
code in place ready to go (or at least a good head start). Just a  
thought.
