Of the 11 open PRs, several are marked as "needs tests", and all but
three look like new features, not bugfixes. Two of the three bug fixes
are for rsnapreport, a tool that to be blunt I don't think is very
important. One is for LVM- and BTRFS- specific issues so is hard for
people without a very specific configuration to test.
There are three broad themes in the open tickets.
1. help requests, which ought to be on the mailing list.
2. feature requests
3. minor problems with argument parsingin some unusual situations,
especially when args contain whitespace.
The only one of those themes that is even slightly important is the
third, and they are mostly unfixable without breaking existing working
configurations.
Finally, the most recent release is almost completely up-to-date with
the master branch:
https://github.com/rsnapshot/rsnapshot/compare/HEAD..1.4.3
So what, exactly, is unmaintained about it? Looks to me like it has
exactly the amount of maintenance that is required for mature software.
