That is the purview of the Community Maintenance Team.

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CommunityMaintenance

That website lists the libraries they're currently administering. It
also lists the email address of the team, if you want to inquire about a
library whose maintainer has gone AWOL, or if you'd like to contribute.
