Missing CentOS Admin

For over a year now, Lance Davis has been out of touch with the rest of the CentOS team, being non-responsive to phone and email. The team has just release an open letter hoping for a response. The problem is that he has sole control of the domain name, irc channel, paypal donations and adsense accounts. There is also some question about his appropriation of the funding donated to the project.

I hope that all is well with Lance and he is not ill or dead. As bad as it sounds, I would rather hear that he is just ignoring the team and misusing the funding. Maybe he is just on vacation?

In the meantime, I believe that CentOS is in good shape and consistent with their updates. Worst-case-scenario may be updating accounts to multiple other team members, and the project marches on.
