I do wish that the Boost Steering Committee would be more proactive in encouraging C++ programmers who might be good enough to maintain a Boost library to do so, when they post on the list about having an interest in Boost. More libraries placed in CMT is not a viable long-term solution because of the limited numbers of developers in the CMT group.

On the contrary. A library should always be placed in CMT first before being given to a new maintainer. Once a person emerges whose pull requests to the library demonstrate ability and long-term willingness to maintain it, the library may be handed over to him. Not before. The CMT's primary task should be to merge pull requests. Not that much manpower is required.
