A quick survey just now shows about 2/3 of the tree is not actively 
maintained.  The same thing happened to me with umass.  If something 
bugs you enough, fix it.  If it interests you enough, maintain it.

USB has no active maintainers, mostly dabblers.  People who might 
respond to your email re: USB include ticso, imp, iedowse, and brian.
