*Woah*

You're misreading what I said. "No longer going to be developed" and "Loic
is not currently actively developing" are two different statements.

The code is good. There are many active and interested development
projects that are using mifluz. And obviously the ht://Dig Group has a
vested interest in improving and handling mifluz bugs. It's not
unreasonable to assume that ht://Dig may "take back" mifluz since there's
currently no assigned FSF maintainer. It deserves a home somewhere.

No, I don't know if Loic will continue to develop mifluz code. But it's
GPL'ed code, so who cares if he does? IMHO, you shouldn't claim "no longer
going to be developed." Does it or does it not meet your needs?

I can think of many examples of GPL'ed code that have been picked up again
by new maintainers. And as I said, there are clearly projects with
interest in mifluz, just from this thread.
