I don't notice any of that personally (probably missed it). Did the dev reply to any of those claims? Over six months of no updates is kinda worrisome
Occasionally yes but 6 months is frankly just not worrying at all. Loads of projects rarely get updates, for example video games Operating systems, for example take Android, is Android abandoned because each update takes about a year? Obviously no, the frequency of updates doesn't correlate to if the project is abandoned. People hassling rmayayo (albeit via a post) is not at all helpful to actually making any progress. Speaking from experience that kind of bs makes me want to stop working on my project. Obviously my work isn't appreciated if all they care about is release speed. Look to literally any large project, especially in the OSS world and you'll typically see pretty lengthy gaps between releases and very few patches. That means they release less frequently for higher quality, something that isn't possible if the only thing you care about is how often you get updates
