No, there isn't. Ani volunteered for the position, then has been ignoring patches sent to him for a year or more. I used to be rivafb maintainer (look at who wrote riva/fbdev.c...), then didn't have time. When I asked around for a new maintainer, he claimed to take up the position, but no patches have been forthcoming...
Ferenc Bakonyi did a good bit of work, and IMO would be a good candidate for maintainership, if he's still around.

P.S. Not to knock Ani Joshi himself -- I have many cheers for him, he got my S3 cards working under XFree 4.0!
