I'm beginning to have concerns about the viability of FluentMigrator as a project. The project seems pretty much abandoned. The main github repo is under an account that no longer takes pull requests. It took 4 months for someone to get around to approving my post on the google group. Since then, its had 29 views (mostly me trying to remember what I wrote) and 0 replies.
Given that people seemed to like the overall effect of the work on DDL generation code is this something worth re-investigating as part of NHibernate proper?
