Package 'confoundr' has been archived on CRAN for more than 60 days #8

Package confoundr is currently listed in CRAN Task View CausalInference but the package has actually been archived for more than 60 days on CRAN. Often this indicates that the package is currently not sufficiently actively maintained and should be excluded from the task view.

Alternatively, you might also consider reaching out to the authors of the package and encourage (or even help) them to bring the package back to CRAN.

In any case, the situation should be resolved in the next four weeks. If the package does not seem to be brought back to CRAN, please exclude it from the task view.

Package maintainer plans to bring the package back to CRAN by Sept/Oct 2023. Package will remain in the CTV and the current issue will be kept open until then.

There still wasn't any update. I would recommend to remove this package from the task view now. If the package returns to the task view in the future it can still be added back again.
