@sag Let me guess, it's because of that Python library they depended on that was also archived?

Probably a better idea would be to leave it archived. Whoever wants to take over can fork it and prove themselves by showing their work.

The xz debacle has shown that there are risk involved in an established developer endorsing an unknown one.

@skullgiver Yep I also read about that one. Especially since the project was mostly in maintenance status for about six months. Rewriting the project to support an alternative to the now deprecated library was probably the last straw for David, he barely had time to solve bugs let alone rewrite the app
