Hopefully, `bitcoinj` will now be maintained by [other people](https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/graphs/contributors) that based projects on it. From what I've read and the [commit list](https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj/commits/master) it seems that Andreas Schildbach, who also initiated the Bitcoin Wallet for Android, now takes a leading role in maintaining of bitcoinj.
