Nobody stepped up to maintain the project, not even Red Hat. Some people have offered help, and I have send out a few GitHub invitations to people that offered, but no takers.

I assume people offering to help only wanted to see their own contributions merged.

I shouldn't be surprised people here take positions while not having been involved in the project or know the whole history.

In my opinion, stopping the project was the only sensible thing to do at this point. Red Hat replacing the tool with one of their own (which I wholeheartedly disagree with for various reasons) created a dead-end. It's the final blow to a dying project.

Wrt. Python 3 support, I simply did it because it was so easy to do, not because I thought this would be a game-changer. But hey, please do read into whatever fits your narrative :-)
