Scoop is maintained, but just... really slowly. It's a shame. For example it took more than a month and two maintainer pings to merge an absolutely trivial PR to add Python 3.8 (a single character change over the Python 3.7 manifest): https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions/pull/226 https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions/pull/226
For the most part, this does not matter. Most of the existing stuff is already present in buckets and auto-updated by CI. The problem is just when something breaks or something new needs to be added, which can take a non-deterministic amount of time.

If you really need something that has a PR but is not merged yet, you can install directly from the PR and just change the source once it's merged, which is just a small hassle.
