If nobody wants to maintain this and release it it's not 
discoverable by users

who might enjoy the game.


People may have felt confident and found the time to do the 
porting but not to

be marked as "the" maintainer. Apart from that the status of amor is not
different from many other software we ship in Gear: it's 
community maintained.


It is partially discoverable by the advanced users and distributions who may
package it from git. If you archive it, nobody will do that, 
and again we have

several example of software apparently inactive which came back to life.


To somewhat conclude this thread I suggest that I'll make an indepent 
relase outside of the Gear collection to get the porting efforts out.


It'll be some time until 22.04 to decide if it should join Gear, but 
personally I'm not overly of adding something which seems barely alive and 
which doesn't work on wayland as intended for architectural reasons.
