Hi,
The status, really, is that the libusb Windows backend is in need of a new
maintainer.
As the hopefully soon to be ex-libusb Windows backend maintainer, I've been
wanting to look into this and other things for about a year now... However,
doing proper review and testing requires time (more than a few days as far as
I'm concerned), which is difficult to prioritize right now.
Now, the reasoning behind libusb having lower priority than some of the other
FLOSS projects I am involved with, is that, as opposed to those, with, libusb
is aimed at developers and as a consequence I expect that, if a group of
developers is inconvenienced enough, one of them will rise to the challenge and
take matter in their own hands. This is pretty much what happened in the past.
TL;DR: Maintainers of FLOSS projects such as libusb rarely have the luxury of
spending their full time on a single project and have to choose their battles.
The result of which is that work doesn't get done...
Regards,
/Pete
