There have been some commits to the "not-yet-reviewed" repo of sunrise
by some people, but i didnt check it, so missed pushing the updates to
the reviewed repo. Since that is done now, you should see that the last
commit was only 1 day before your question.

As an additional note: proxy-maintainers and sunrise are 2 different
projects with different goals and different tools, you cannot replace
one with the other unless you want to move all the packages in sunrise
to the main tree. proxy-maintainers is about users maintaining packages
in the _main tree_ with the help of developers, sunrise is about users
maintaining packages in the _sunrise overlay_. So unless the users finds
a dev willing to add and maintain "his" package(s) in the main tree,
there is no way to replace sunrise with proxy-maintainers.

Also, if some more devs would be willing to help, that would be nice,
being the last active dev for the sunrise overlay for some time now and
i dont like the "bus factor" :-)
