I wrote it, it's high profile and seems to have been somewhat unloved
since I left it.

I've looked at it a few times since then with the intent of fixing it
up but I never got past the point of looking at Bugzilla and trying to
determine what was actually needed for it and what was just the
minority report of some user wanting some feature that him and 3 other
people in the world are ever going to use.

Domas has also complained that it eats up resources. Is this something
that can conceivably be fixed in it or is it just inherent in anything
that calls the parser from an extension tag and will thus need parser
fixups to get anywhere?

I can take it. It's not like it needs much maintenance.

Ditto.

Isn't this also covered by UserRights? (I don't know).

That's CheckUser, does that one have a maintainer?

I patched it up a bit. It's not like anyone other than me has actually
ever used it. But sure, I'll take it.

I'll take it, not that anyone cares.
