@kinow Thank you for reaching out and providing an update. I must admit, I've encountered some frustration recently. Over the past few months, the only noticeable activity on the project seems to be from Gary, who has been addressing minor style issues but not significantly contributing otherwise. It appears he hasn't been thoroughly reviewing code in pull requests and may not grasp the project's domain. Even without unit tests, confirming the correctness of the bugfix in my pull request or validating the provided test should have been straightforward for someone familiar with the codebase and its intricacies. This is the kind of scrutiny and understanding that someone actively engaged in the project could provide. I recall observing this level of engagement from you some time ago, which is why I directed my concerns to you. Maybe the project isn’t dead, given the abundance of open issues and pull requests coupled with the lack of substantial development, it's difficult to characterize it as an actively progressing endeavor. I am glad to hear that you plan to pick up the work here, because this project deserves real maintenance. How Gary acts on my PRs is just ridiculous. First he wanted me to include a test image and provide a test - both would not have been necessary. After I did go the extra mile he doesn’t want the test (because he does not seem to understand what it does) and now all of the sudden the inclusion of the test image is a problem. That’s really sad and ridiculous maintenance. I believe this projects deserves better. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
