2 months ago I am not neccessarily against a removal but I am currently using this very successfully for alertmanager notifications and would appreciate finding an alternative before we drop it. 😆

2 months ago Yes, im also still looking into alternatives exactly for those notifcations and will have to migrate one deployment. :sweat_smile:
There is matrix-hook (nixpkgs) as seen in nix-community/infra. It has fewer dependencies but it also doen't look too actively developed (the dependencies are around a year old (the last go-neb bump was ~two years ago so it's at least a bit newer)).
Then there is the in the discontinuation announcement mentioned matrix-hookshot (nixpkgs). It covers more of what go-neb does/did and apparently also has some support for alertmanager. Edit: Looking at it closer i'm not really a fan of the hardcoded format of the message.
Don't know if there are other alternatives.

1 month ago Matrix-alertmanager exists specifically for alertmanager based notifications and is already packaged in nixpkgs. Hookshot is the "official" replacement for go-neb for things outside of alertmanager notifications.
Not sure if there is some policy around this topic (haven't found it or an template) so going a bit free style.
The go-neb project was archived/discontinued by the developer last year. Currently it seems to work still but with it beeing abandoned sofware i think a removal/marking as insecure or whatever should be considered at some point.
It doesn't look like there are viable forks to switch to. Or i haven't quickly found them.
On a side node there is at least one prominent deployment.
