is weechat-matrix dead?

[ilf]

Hi all

Five years ago, the project status was declared as "weechat-matrix is in maintenance mode".

The last commit to weechat-matrix was two years ago. Most code was written in 2018, only some on 2019 and 2020.

Two years ago, weechat-matrix stoppped running on current Pyton environments. To this day, there is no fix (only a work-around that creates a static, outdated and unsupported environment.)

One year ago, Matrix deprecated libolm because of multiple security issues. To this day, weechat-matrix depends on the deprecated libolm.

One and a half years ago, someone asked for write access to this project. @poljar offered: "Yes, absolutely." But AFAICT, no-one took this offer and joined the dev team.

All this makes me feel like weechat-matrix is dead.

@poljar: Can you say something about the status of this project? Can you/we officially retire and archive this project?

Or does anyone feel like calling for new developers and maintainers to revive this project?

Thanks for all the work.

@jj475s: Thanks for the reply.

Are you a member of this project? I don't see you in contributors. I'm asking because I am looking for an authoritative answer from a project maintainer.

I am aware that weechat-matrix-rs exists. The README of weechat-matrix states: "development has moved to weechat-matrix-rs".

However, the README of weechat-matrix-rs sais: "This project is a work in progress and doesn't do much yet." In the last year, weechat-matrix-rs only saw 18 commits, mostly updates to README and dependencies. I'm not sure that qualifies as "all the care".

From what I can tell, weechat-matrix-rs is not in a state weechat-matrix, and it doesn't look close to getting there soon.

Therfore, my question remains.
