muon bug reports

[Mitch Golden]

Is there something broken about muon that would require it to be sunset? 
I really like using it. While I don't have time to really become the 
maintainer, if there's something not too difficult that urgently needs 
to be fixed in order to keep it in, I would at least take a look.
