Is anyone maintaining Echo? I notice a number of open bugs on Bugzilla,

Critical bugs are getting fixed, and new bug tickets are appreciated.

New features are not currently being added, and lower priority bugs are awaiting developer time - the devs who know the code are currently all working on Flow. I believe they plan to dedicate a sprint (3 week coding cycle) to Echo, at some point this quarter. I've been collating a list of message-related bugs, so hopefully that aspect will get some updates a bit sooner.

I was not notified when these diffs were made. The first might be
difficult for Echo to identify as requiring a ping but I think the
second definitely should have triggered a notification.

The second one wouldn't have worked, because there is no signature. (Mention notifications require a 4-tilde signature, as part of the same save). There was some older discussion about removing the signature-requirement, but I think it stalled because of concerns in bug 53132, which I've now split out into https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64778 (thanks for the nudge :)

The first one is indeed complicated looking. I'll ask a dev to glance at the diff, and see if it was an actual error, or just an edge-case that would be difficult to detect properly/efficiently.

Hope that helps.
