README.rst may make one believe that the project is orphaned #294

Greetings.

551752c3a57def3c49ced08a6246fcfdd8640e7a introduced the README.md file, identical to the existing README.rst file. There is one exception, README.rst still has this header:

This Project is Orphaned

This project is no longer maintained or developed. Github issue tracking and pull requests have therefore been disabled. The mailing list (see below) is still available for use.

If you would like to take over this project, you are welcome to do so. Please fork it and develop the fork for a while. Once there has been 6 months of reasonable activity, please contact Nikolaus@rath.org and I'll be happy to give you ownership of this repository or replace with a pointer to the fork.

To be clear, README.md currently doesn't have this header. Therefore, README.md and README.rst disagree.

This made me confused about the state of the project.

In any case, the fact that 551752c3a57def3c49ced08a6246fcfdd8640e7a is literally titled " No longer orphaned") and existance of recent commits to the project make me believe that the project is not currenly orphaned.

I suggest to fix this.

If the project is not orphaned, please get rid of the header.

If the project is orphaned, please note that in the README.md file as well.

Last of all, I suggest to remove the either README.rst or the README.md file. One is enough, in my opinion.

Thanks.

@h4sh5 Are you still actively keeping sshfs alive? There've been a few issues with similar questions remaining unanswered. If there's no time to respond to these, perhaps it'd be better to archive the project again?
