Although we are late in reporting the fact, within days of announcing the demise of Bodhi Linux it is announced that the distro will continue on as the torch has been passed on to other volunteers. Distrowatch has again added it to their Distro Ranking List and lists Bodhi's page as being in "active" development.
As the handing-over maintainer, Jeff, says:
Bodhi 3 will happen at some point, but they don't have any firm time lines right now. Thankfully - all the delays mean E19 "stable" has been released and will be the default desktop for the x86/64bit releases. I'll let the new folks post updates once they get all my build scripts sorted and start getting pre-releases out to test.

Oh, and "Bodhi" is Sanskrit for "Enlightenment" (not coincidently, the name of the desktop environment used by Bodhi Linux).
If you want to make a comparison of the quality of the work done, Elive is another distro built around Enlightenment.
(It was once payware for the latest binaries, but is now gratis and libre at all levels.)
About Jeff Hoogland:
He created the Bodhi Linux distro when he was 20 years old.
He now has his sheepskin and a young bride and a child and is having to figure out how to make a living in an economy that continues to collapse, so he is having to reevaluate how he uses his time.
