Avoid

Avoid: no human commits in a year, and most questions go unanswered.

Why

No human commits since February 2025, and only 0 of 30 recent issues got a maintainer reply. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4)
One person wrote 99% of human commits in the last year, and no human has committed in the last 90 days. (source 1, source 2)
GitHub found no license file, so the code is not clearly licensed for reuse. (source 1)

What would change this

A release or merged commit from a maintainer, or replies to recent issues.
A human commit in the last 90 days, or a second person taking a large share of commits.
A license file is added.
