Correct, he left iThemba LABS in 2008:

It would probably be worth trying to get control of that epicscomedi project 
at SourceForge if someone has the time to do that.  I would suggest merging it 
with the epics project http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/epics/wiki but that's 
up to whoever does the work (thank-you if you do).

I have been reading that some Comedi drivers are being reworked and added to 
the Linux Kernel, although I have no idea whether this would affect the EPICS 
drivers at all.  Of course it'll be quite some time (years) before those make 
it to the Red Hat releases (and hence to Scientific Linux) that many EPICS 
labs actually use.
