Becoming the next DCCP maintainer?

Hi, I do have an interest in DCCP staying in the Linux Kernel since I'm using it for my PhD thesis research and also one other possible research project in the future. I'm thinking about offering to maintain the DCCP stack in the Linux Kernel and have some questions regarding it: 1. Is it still possible? Or am I too late already? 2. How much work would it be? Is it something that can be done in parallel to a regular job? Thanks, -- Richard
