Hi! I have been here for a minute, but I had given up hope of ever

read it.
Hi Christopher,
The list is apparently only mostly dead :-)
I'm sure several folks have looked at your patch as well as others that
have been submitted - the problem is that nobody with commit access to
the repository is active any more, so there is nobody to make a final
decision which patches to accept (there are a small number which would
be critical for a new release) and also nobody to care for actually
creating a new release. It would certainly be possibly for someone to
clone the repository, but it doesn't seem anybody feels willing to take
on that responsibility. In the short run, you can certainly compile
your own version, using the patches from a select set of PRs, but that
will get more and more difficult as more patches are needed for more
changes to upstream libraries. For example, the gtk3 patch works, in
that it allows to compile and run the program (which is what I have
done) but apparently there are a number of features that don't work any
more with that patch. I'm just lucky that I haven't run into any of
those yet.
Unless someone step up to take charge, pan is destined to fade into
history.
Jack
