It's always easier to get answers to a  question when presented with a clear
statement (like sending a patch, or a small list in the case), since
it is something
that people can quickly scan and react to ("Hey, they think my layer
is unmaintained!").

But agreed, either way works (say if they are maintained or not) and you'll get
the information, I just suspect you'll get it more quickly with a list
that makes
a clear statement and throws things into initial buckets on their behalf.

Cheers,

Bruce
