I might be willing to take over maintainership as we definitely need this
driver to stay for Debian Ports as otherwise we won't be able to boot
PowerMacs using GRUB.

Developers on the grub-devel mailing list might be interested in this
discussion as well as GRUB won't be usable anymore on PowerMacs with
HFS/HFS+ being removed from the kernel.
