Is this plugin still maintained/official?

I have spent considerable time and effort to migrate my project and custom plugins from [previous version](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/play_plugin.html) (which still uses Gradle Software Model) to this version, hoping that this would finally be the "most official" Gradle Play plugin and, which offers the best compatibility with Play framework.

But it seems that this plugin is not in active development anymore. Even master branch is broken, resulting in all PRs to fail build.

What is the state of this plugin? Is there any milestone/plan etc.?

What is the suggested way to use latest version of Play framework with Gradle nowadays?
