I've been doing some maintenance for 2 releases but I'm recently very short on time. I'd love for anybody to help. Can you for example go over current PRs, test them and report back? That'd help A LOT for starters.
Thanks for you quick reply. I'm glad to hear that this project hasn't been completely abandoned. Do we know what happened to the owner?
There are currently three open pull requests:
This is an addition to the examples. You have suggested that the author creates a separate example instead of adding to the main example, which seems reasonable.
This looks like it could be useful. I'll try to find someone to test it.
We are using Gtk3 at the moment, but are definitely interested in moving to Gtk4 in the future.
The features that we are waiting for at the moment have already been merged in PR #91 and PR #99.
Plz comment on individual PRs once you test them if you don't mind and also test current master if you can. If #91 and #99 are ones you looking for I guess we could make a release for them.

The owner is here and he handed over maintainership when asked to years ago. He will do so again if asked. He dislikes being referred to in the thrid person. He spent years contributing to FOSS but now works in other domains of engineering.
@nzjrs We really appreciate all your work on this project. It provides a popular view in our genealogy software.
I was just concerned when I read in the "About" section that the project was looking for a new maintainer. If @johnny-bit is happy to continue in the role, then there is no need to transfer maintainership.

Sounds good. All thanks for maintenance in the last years should go to @johnny-bit - help him out if you want to see releases, or you can discuss with him further steps. I'm happy to support administratively however it is deemed appropriate.
The Gramps project uses this widget and we would like to see a new release.
If nobody is interested in maintaining this project, how do we apply to become the new maintainer?
