So how big is the community around this project?

If a one-person show, closing it up would effectively kill it? Or (re?)turn it into a hobby project developed at snail pace.

If some community exists: fork coming up?

One person show. Effectively, it is dead since now it became the proprietary toy of its author. The author is entitled to do what he wants with his own creation, however.
