If someone else wants to take over this project, the sensible thing is to start over in Python. It can be more easily maintained and it would be much easier to find code contributors.
The only problem is the million or so lines of code (not all of which would be needed in Python.)
The origin of Sigil was not to develop an epub editor per se, but a project through which the original developer could get his degree. In that regard, it was a great success, since graduated and got a job at Google. Expansion and maintainability were not the primary aims.
I wish I could help but my knowledge is in electronic hardware maintenance.
