so not many people seem interested in moving their projects to the stable server. are the requirements too strict, or do people just not see the need?

I see that when looking at the wiki a few days ago, it said that the tool we submit to the stable server will not be maintained by us, rather a developer (of some kind). Does this still apply? Just reading the wiki now, it seems the 'owners' now maintain them via shell accounts and then run the tool under a 'primary' root account (that's my understanding, correct me if wrong). That's how I would like it to be, that way the person familiar with the tool can update it.
I was thinking on getting a stable server account for my 'Toolserver Replag' tool (located at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~e/replag/), but I didn't know whether it was completely meeting the 'requirements' for it and would like your opinions. Many users have come up to me in the past week wanting a 'raw' replication lag output, which I provided (located at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~e/replag/raw/) and believe it would be put to good use on the stable server.
Kind regards,

The way I understand it, you need at least two people to be familiar with the tool.

I think finding a co-maintainer and documenting the code so that others can read it is somewhat hard and may take some time.
