    Is there a reason given anywhere?

    There is:

    I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.

      @smeg @schizoidman Based on what I saw in a forum, they want to move on. Have been single handedly maintaining a project for a decade. They, through the project, also requested donations to help sustain this project early this year. Clearly, finance is one of the reasons. Maintaining such a project and rolling out updates as a single contributor, no doubt, is a hard and more than commendable task. I’m not surprised this has come to this

        Yeah I’m not surprised a single developer project would end, I’m just surprised something with such a good rep only had one maintainer! Huge credit to them for all their effort, hopefully this prompts a larger group to pick up the work.
