> I haven't lost interest but my ability to care has been fairly limited mostly due to longterm mental health issues but also due to some other things. Recently I've worked off-list a bit with Jia Tan on XZ Utils and perhaps he will have a bigger role in the future, we'll see. https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00567.html https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00567.h...

That "Jigar Kumar" is like fake and one-time throw-off account, probably from the same state actor to orchestrate the painstakingly prepared supply chain attack (under the sun).

  At first glance I thought it was a far-fetched conclusion but then I read in a subsequent reply he wrote: > With your current rate, I very doubt to see 5.4.0 release this year. The only progress since april has been small changes to test code. You ignore the many patches bit rotting away on this mailing list. Right now you choke your repo. Why wait until 5.4.0 to change maintainer? Why delay what your repo needs? https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00568.html https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00568.h... The last two sentences really make it look as if he were trying to pressure the original author.

    Oh wow, all his posts are trying to pressure Lasse, or guilt him into getting Jia on board. They're definitely conspiring. "Your efforts are good but based on the slow release schedule it will unfortunatly be years until the community actually gets this quality of life feature." "Patches spend years on this mailing list. 5.2.0 release was 7 years ago. There is no reason to think anything is coming soon." "With your current rate, I very doubt to see 5.4.0 release this year. The only progress since april has been small changes to test code. You ignore the many patches bit rotting away on this mailing list. Right now you choke your repo. Why wait until 5.4.0 to change maintainer? Why delay what your repo needs?" "Progress will not happen until there is new maintainer. XZ for C has sparse commit log too. Dennis you are better off waiting until new maintainer happens or fork yourself. Submitting patches here has no purpose these days. The current maintainer lost interest or doesn't care to maintain anymore. It is sad to see for a repo like this." "Is there any progress on this? Jia I see you have recent commits. Why can't you commit this yourself?" "Over 1 month and no closer to being merged. Not a suprise."
