Hi, I agree that we should take steps to actively update the project status.
However, this project has already been donated to the ASF, so I don't think moving it back is an option. IMO, the more practical approach is to request archiving the project as it stands. If at least three people want to work on it in the future, they can reactivate it when needed.
