Me too! However I notice the official maintainer is listed as "jefflanzarotta at yahoo dot com". Perhaps someone should contact him?

In my setup I have an edited sql.vim and plsql.vim - although I could never get the autocompletion feature working so I had to comment some stuff out, and that makes me feel unqualified to volunteer as a maintainer.

I also simplified the highlighting so there is only one kind of "keyword", to remove the jumble you get where SELECT and AND etc all come out different colours (pink and green or whatever the default is). Also I have a colours file that's a bit more muted and 21st century IMHO than the supplied set. How do I get involved?
