Indeed. Although outdated, maybe it'll be helpful as a starting point.

Yes. it's pratically abandonned upstream. It's still maintained (as in, people
make sure it compiles and works), but no longer developped. Considering the lack
of manpower here in pkg-e, I don't feel like investing time into maintaining
something that's not developped and for which I have no practical use (not to
say that a large part of newly-developed applications use elementary)

It's fine either ways. If you want to maintain it within pkg-e, please let me
know so that I grant you access to the git repo.
