This seems low, especially since the upstream itself seems committed to stability (e.g. the notice regarding the ABI/API change on the front page). Isn't "Uncommitted" more appropriate?
Also, is this *library* racing another FOSS product -- i.e. will we see another consuming application show up soon? I ask merely out of curiosity -- I believe we have a pattern of delivering (FOSS enabling) libraries in LSARC, whereas PSARC often challenges libraries without consumers. And this seems like such a specialized library. . . Also, another point of personal clarification -- I notice not all projects complete a FOSS checklist. This one didn't seem to. I suspect that's fine, except that in this particular case, I couldn't find a binding level. I notice that's an explicit question in the FOSS checklist, but reviewing many recent one-pagers reveals that this detail is very often omitted. What is the binding level here? One final nit -- are we really interested in delivering raptor.pc? It's not really been common practice up until now to deliver those ./configure artifacts. Other than these nits, the case looks fine to me.
