As far as I know, it is actively maintained. Do I see the people
banging hammers, no. lol I did have a update on eudev tho:

09 Feb 2013; Luca Barbato <[email protected]> eudev-1_beta2-r1.ebuild,
eudev-9999.ebuild, +files/eudev-hwdb-offset-root.patch:
Update eudev ebuilds to support ROOT properly
It seems the latest change was March 10 which was not long ago. As I
mentioned earlier, I have plugged in USB sticks, cameras, printers and
such pretty regular. The eudev fork has worked fine for me. Servers
seem to worry less about *new stuff* since they usually run with what
they have at boot time anyway. Heck, mdev may would work fine for you
too.
It seems based on reading the -dev list that udev is about to introduce
some more changes. I'm hoping those don't affect me either. I just
noticed that someone else on this list has ran into the news message for
it too and has questions already.
