Would you please add a badge from repostatus.org? Probably unsupported (I would add the markdown code, but I'm on my phone and it's hard to copy the long string

Unsupported gives me kinda the wrong vibe. I'd think either Inactive or Abandoned are more accurate. I think Abandoned is maybe the most correct and useful since it signals that if someone wanted, they could try and take it over, but it also sounds kinda harsh.

Actually, after reading the description, Unsupported does seem like the right descriptor.

Abandoned:

Initial development has started, but there has not yet been a stable, usable release; the project has been abandoned and the author(s) do not intend on continuing development.

Unsupported:

The project has reached a stable, usable state but the author(s) have ceased all work on it. A new maintainer may be desired."

So the latter seems appropriate, by their definition ?

Agreed that the adjective itself does not convey the idea that it would be very cool if someone stepped in.
I'd say the badge + a quote of the definition at the top should be fine though.

Considering there are quite a lot of egregious bugs that seriously impact usability, I'd say this package is more abandoned than unsupported.
