Upstream tree hasn't been touched in years, multiple reported issues are unanswered and unresolved. You've added one yourself with a suggestion but why didn't you create a PR to make it easier for upstream? [1] We'll need to at least to fix it manually with CMake 4 given that upstream is dead. There are also already multiple projects which appears to be very similar in functionality and at least four are maintained by you, none of these suffice [2]? 1: https://github.com/voldyman/MarkMyWords/issues/102 2: deskutils/notekit (maintained by you) deskutils/vnote (maintained by you) editors/ghostwriter editors/marker editors/remarkable (maintained by you) editors/retext www/writefreely deskutils/mindforger (maintained by you) On another note, are there any timely plans on addressing your currently maintained list of ports which portscout lists ~25% as outdated and PRs with multiple requests such as deadbeef which have been open for months? If you're unable to handle all just return a set of them to the pool and/or try to find new maintainers. It would also be nice if we could keep security/rhash up to date given that it's used by high profile consumers such as CMake.
