Furthermore I would also like to call your attention to the following, just to illustrate that I can indeed read.

The notice of going into maintenance mode was committed in October 2021, while the PR with the fix was submitted in August 2021, TWO months before adding the notice. What does that tell you? That the PR got ignored in spite of the the author stating they're open to conversation in 2020. So, yeah, sorry, the headline of this article is spot on. Classic failure of OSS whether anyone likes to hear that or not.
