I have not looked at this particular commit history, but I want to argue against the notion that no fresh commits must mean that a project is abandoned. Some stuff is just mostly finished after some point.
In the GitHub issue I linked to, the project maintainer indicates both that he will no longer work on the project and that Netflix has retired the software.
So... I wouldn't invest time in it unless you want to take over stewardship (no one else has offered in the last 7 months).
