Description

This has become a critical build dependency for many, many project and it is essentially unmaintained. Pull requests languish without any review, most issues go unanswered, etc. etc.

If you are unable to recruit additional maintainers, I recommend archiving the project to let users know that it is deprecated and they should move to another tool.

Research direction

Review the project's unanswered issues and languishing pull requests to assess the maintenance situation described here. Done would mean an explicit decision and plan to recruit maintainers, or a decision to archive Paket and communicate that it is deprecated.
