What's the current state of this project? The last commit was in March 2020 and it was retired from Fedora around that same time.

I Googled his name and this came up: https://web.archive.org/web/20230529194200/https://www.bradshawfuneral.com/obituaries/paul-pelzl I thought I'd post this here to inform.

Thank you for posting that.

Losing someone you only know through their software is an interesting feeling. I try to let maintainers of software I really like know, but I don't think I ever sent anything to Paul for orpie. I also live in Wisconsin and didn't know he was from here.

I messaged the flower company to see if it's too late to have something with a note sent to his family.

I've thought about forking the project before (which is why I started this issue), and I may do so now knowing that he's passed.
