@sag Let me guess, it's because of that Python library they depended on that was also archived?

Looks like the maintainer has better things to do

In post on the Gradience Discord, the tool’s primary developer David Lapshin (daudix) explains: –

“Archiving the project […] will make it clear that Gradience is, well, unmaintained, and will prevent the issue tracker from being filled with duplicates asking when new release will be out/why nautilus sidebar is white.”

“And, if someone will want to maintain it one day, it can always be unarchived with a press of a button.”

Probably a better idea would be to leave it archived. Whoever wants to take over can fork it and prove themselves by showing their work.

The xz debacle has shown that there are risk involved in an established developer endorsing an unknown one.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
