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.
