Yes, it was crap to do it that way.
We've EOLed Maple, though, so while we'll take patches that fix it, I'm afraid we won't be making changes:

Thanks, Marti
Hi Marti
No worries. Yes I know that end of life was notified.
I've forked https://github.com/jonatanolofsson/maple-bootloader which does seem to be maintained, so will make changes to my fork and do a PR into https://github.com/jonatanolofsson/maple-bootloader
If Jonathan is no longer maintaining either, I'll probably make make a new repo and copy the latest files
But I was hoping that possibly Jonatan would still be maintaining his repo
BTW. We're also going to remove RAM uploads, so that we can free up the 3K permanently allocated to the bootloader over to the sketch and now that the bootloader is much smaller as it will compile with optimised, we will be changing our version of libmaple etc so that the sketch gets more of the Flash
We're also going to write a sketch that will be able to update the bootloader in a Maple or Maple mini's by using the EEPROM library - albeit at the owners own risk ;-)
BTW. Thanks for all your hard work in the first place. Because LibMaple and the bootloader live on, in probably even greater numbers than when it was an official product.
Sounds awesome :) Happy hacking!

It seems very strange that this repo contains a different branch for each target e.g. Maple, Maple mini etc
Wouldn't it be better to have one unified source with #defines in the Makefile for the Port and Pin numbers of DISC pin and the LED etc
So that a bootloader could be built by using Make maple-mini or Maple maple-rev3 etc
