What is the future of gmapping? #15

Hi,

I recently wanted to bring gmapping back to my robot and noticed that you guys actually managed to migrate it to ROS2. I have two questions

  1. What about the original repo https://github.com/ros-perception/slam_gmapping ? Do you have any plans to bring it back to "ros-perception"? Otherwise, is this repo the official ROS2 release for gmapping now?
  2. I used the ROS2-humble fork (PR #14) and made some additional minor changes so that it runs out of the box as replacement for slam_toolbox with nav2. The code is here: https://github.com/amock/slam_gmapping - branch "humble". Right now I am waiting for PR #14 to get merged before making my PR as follow up. Looking at the other PRs, I was wondering if this project is still actively maintained?

Thanks in advance and for migrating gmapping to ROS2 in the first place.
