Only half that bad:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/tree/MAINTAINERS
currently lists no dedicated maintainer, which means the community
at large picks up whatever occasional work happens (which as you
can see from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/setxkbmap/log/
is not a huge amount).   Of course, our XKB maintainer, Daniel Stone,
does have a larger say than most community members.

As the person who has touched the code most recently, I'd be willing
to consider patches to make the code more maintainable.

Our guide for submitting patches to X.Org is at:
