I'm happy to do simple triage on reported bugs, but I'm not very confident with regards to the actual source code (my OOP knowledge is still a lot flakey!)

It would be good to get some person to take actual leadership of the project though, even if it's just someone to be a nominal head to go to if someone has a problem with some part of the project. This person probably doesn't even need to understand all the versions of the application code, but as long as they know who they can ask about something, it's probably all that really matters.

A figurehead, even a remote one, matters.

All the best,
