The module is maintained by Christian Feuersaenger. I'm forwarding
your email to him. (Loading the module fails for me as well.)

However, I think that I'm not entirely innocent either. I'm still
fetching pgfplots from CVS and I just realized that the project
switched to GIT. (Nobody ever complained so far.) But there's no
unprotect/protect in git repository either, so it is not just due to
outdated sources. Christian - is there any chance to use git & TDS for
pgf as well?
