Is LiteFS abandoned? #436

Dear fly.io,

Thanks for making LiteFS! It looks like a really cool project. However, its currently quite difficult to decide whether its safe to use, because by the looks of it, the project seems abandoned.

Looking at the code frequency graph we see that somewhere in the end of 2023, basically all work stopped:

There is also one trivial pull request for fixing a typo that received no reaction since July. I can totally understand if development resources are prioritized to other tasks within fly.io, but if nobody can even review PRs, what hope is there for this project to thrive?

It would be really nice to have some sort official announcement about the project's status either way.

@ixxie Sorry about the missed PR. That was an easy one to merge in but just got overlooked. LiteFS is currently in a stable, working state but we've moved development resources elsewhere at the moment. The project is not abandoned but we don't have a timeline for when development may pick up again in the future.

Thanks for responding @benbjohnson, its appreciated. It's good to know PRs are still being reviewed, that is the main concern I had.
