Well, it's certainly not a very active project but there are pull requests once a while and they are reviewed and merged when they are ready. I don't know, I see your concerns but I also see that this package -even with missing features- covers a valid use case (I use it myself after all). I don't have a strong opinion about this, to be honest. Berto
