Syslinux - Oct 2018 - Is syslinux still worked on? No new commits in git for about one year

Hi,

Is syslinux still under active development? I do not see any new commit 
in git repo for about a year.

Hi,

I think that you pretty much answered your question.

My assumption is developers and potential developers are busy with other
projects, like sub-systems of the Linux kernel or GRUB. 

For instance there is an heavy traffic here:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/log/
and also there:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2018-10/threads.html

This is just a guess from an end user, though.

Best regards,

Didier

syslinux probably needs one more maintainer, one that can do release mgmt, pre
rels., apply patches
from the community etc. All the stuff needed besides develop & fix bugs in
the code.
