Can you comment on the extent to which it will be maintained? I understand that you can’t predict the future, but the ever-looming threat of abandonware is always prominent on my mind when I see a tool that looks too good to be true.

I can't predict ultra far into the future (who can these days... :|), but Mutagen has been under active development for about 6 years now[0]. At the moment I have enough funding to work on it full-time until at least the middle of next year, though I also do Mutagen-related contracting and consulting work to support the project. Mutagen's Docker Desktop extension is going to be a freemium product designed to support the project more directly, which will hopefully allow development to continue indefinitely.
