You're not responding to any of PRs a couple of months already.

As I mentioned in #119 many links are 404 and it will be even worse with time.

If you don't have time to maintain this repo, consider archiving it

When you archive a repository, you are letting people know that a project is no longer actively maintained.

I can't comment on behalf of @feross, nor am I maintainer of this project, but I love the idea and would love to see it succeed. Perhaps life in a new org with more maintainers could help breathe new life into this repo?

I also don't want to see this project archived. Its a fantastic idea and needs to live on somehow.

I proposed a spec for decentralizing the donation links in one of the earlier discussion threads: #2 (comment). I'd love to get your thoughts on that and think of ways we could incorporate a decentralized model like that into this utility.

Yup, it's dead.

@limonte Project is not dead, was just hibernating because I started a masters degree. If you don't like the way I run this project, feel free to start your own.

Also, I'm always happy to add maintainers to a repo if I know the maintainer personally or after a track record of useful PRs to my projects. Just added you to this repo, @zeke.

The better question is: do you like the way this project runs? Publishing a lot of projects and abandoning them for a couple of months look like the ancient way of humanity when humans were making as many children as possible with the hope that some of them will somehow survive.

In the current Western culture we're maintaining our children and our projects in the beginning of their lives on the regular basis.
