FWIW, it's official now (no longer speculation): Charles is now definitely 
looking for someone to take over pan maintainership.  He's no longer 
interested, as he says he rarely if ever runs a news client any more.

K Haley's the most obvious candidate given his community repo, but he 
doesn't really want the official maintainership either.

See this bug for a bit of discussion on the topic, including Charles' 
statement that he really isn't that interested anymore and /would/ like 
someone else to take over (the link is to that comment):

So now's the time to step up if anyone's interested or has any ideas of 
someone who might be.  I think most of us would be fine with KHaley, and 
it's obvious from the comment that Charles is, but given that it's a 
volunteer position and people who aren't interested don't make 
particularly good volunteers...
