"AWOL" is an acronym for "Absent without leave". My understanding is that expression of the perception that open source contributors are obligated to stay active in projects, is one of the reasons open source contributors burn out.
The person who left and the other contributor are in pretty much the same situation, shoulder major responsibility for the project or walk away and let it live or die based on someone else stepping forward.

Good luck.
