I think the preceived lack of responsiveness goes back a lot longer than
the dates below, but starting a project to maintain tcpdump, libpcap etc is
probably a good idea after looking at http://ee.lbl.gov/
  Past and Present Group Staff
   * Sally Floyd (at ACIRI as of February 1999)
   * Craig Leres
   * Vern Paxson (at ACIRI as of February 1999)
   * Van Jacobson, Group Leader (at Cisco since late 1998)
   * Kevin Fall (at UCB since late 1998)
   * Steven McCanne (at UCB since 1997)

so even if those individuals who've left want to continue looking after
tcpdump & libpcap, I think we can say LBL is no longer in the position of
maintaining them
