Do you have a direct link to the authors blog (I don't think the
"cbloomrants" is it)? Can we get somebody to ping him and see if he's
still interested in maintaining miniz (or passing it off to somebody
else to maintain it)?
From what I found he's blogging at http://richg42.blogspot.com/
I got there from this post:
http://richg42.blogspot.com/2015/12/one-test-showing-performance-of-miniz.html
where he writes "miniz (was here[1], now migrating to github here[2]) is
my single source file zlib-alternative".
[1]: https://code.google.com/p/miniz/
[2]: https://github.com/richgel999/miniz
It does look like the last commit on the github was two years ago, and
there are open issues. I didn't try to evaluate how critical any of them
are. Yet.
I would really like to retain miniz support. However, if it becomes
necessary to remove it, I've put the necessary changes (to completely
remove it) on a branch.
It looks like a nice clean implementation. I've been using fossil built
from it for some time now without issue. If I needed a simple to
integrate compressor, it would be high on my list of candidates.
