Hi André,
thank you for you open and honest words. That's sadly what I observed, too.
So anybody who feels fit to step in as maintainer and bring back some
life into the project could be sure of my gratitude!

Speaking as a non-programmer & GNOME volunteer (NOT with my Wikimedia
hat on), librsvg consumers should evaluate more maintained (and hence
also more secure and future-proof?) libraries for dealing with SVG.
With your Wikimedia hat ON:
Could you encourage the right people at WMF to either
1. Get a WMF developer to work (at least part time) on maintenance of
libRSVG? This way we could at least get all the patches merged, that
were already provided by volunteers over the last months/years. This
would not only benefit Wikimedia projects but everybody using libRSVG!
2. Evaluate the usage of libRSVG in WMF projects (if there is no
willingness to donate resources). Wikimedia projects might as well
switch to a more maintained library then (as you suggest yourself).
(Maybe it's even time to stop delivering pre-rendered PNGs and
directly send the SVG file to browsers with sufficient support.)
Regards,
Eduard
