this repo has been stale for years now
and despite Lee still being active in GitHub circles, he ignores the issue and refuses to invite other maintainers or even change ownership of the repo to someone else or some group of maintainers.

Someone who is interested in continuing it should just fork it.

people already did, many times
and then the original repo's issue tracker is full of issue where people say that they have made a fork
and no consesus on which of these forks is to be blessed a go-to successor
so currently we have an outdated repo and a lot of fragmentation among successors.

Story of open source. Everyone needs to create their own version if even one thing is not to their liking. 🤣

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. If someone wants to point me towards an active/popular fork of this repo, I'm happy to add that to this post.

This is then probably better as a wiki, but I do understand why people choose github repositories for the curated nature of them.

There are better options IMO libregames and OSGL. There is also a list of forks here

Thank you! I'll add these to the original post (and hopefully this comment is upvoted to the top)
