It would be great to see the project back on the maintenance track!

There are some bug fixes pending that would be good to get in, because
they limit the usefulness of the program if used as-is (i.e. unpatched)

Especially these:

https://github.com/distcc/distcc/pull/161
https://github.com/distcc/distcc/pull/168

(They cause problems used with ccache...)

We're also willing to sponsor someone to work with --coverage support.
If you are interested, then let me know and I will see what I can do ?

https://github.com/distcc/distcc/issues/134

(need to distribute .gcno, and rewrite .o)
