Is posix-spawn still maintained? #94

It's my understanding that this gem is no longer maintained. I'm creating this issue to help others who are trying to understand the current maintenance posture or reporting new issues. If I'm incorrect, please let me know so I can close this issue.

The last commit was 4 years ago. The last closed issue was also 4 years ago.

Packages can become "complete" and not need code changes, but it looks like recent issues #91 and #93 have not received feedback from a maintainer, in addition to #90 from 2021.

Also, for folks using modern rubies, it's my understanding that since Ruby 2.2 it is no longer necessary to use POSIX:Spawn to get good fork performance. Also see https://github.com/luanzeba/progeny/commit/00dac130925b98f2c2e55adb600385a88a8a4d58.
