Future of this project

Given this project appears to be abandoned, is there any good alternatives or are we able to get more contributors added so we can merge the many pull requests (often fixing the same bugs)

This is a project-maintenance question rather than a scoped code task; no files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository’s many pending pull requests and current maintenance status. Done would require a maintainer decision about project ownership, contributors, or alternatives, not a standalone newcomer change.
