I am working on it.  The previous maintainer quietly took an "indefinite 
break" in late 2019, then quietly left the project some months later and 
the senior maintainer (who was originally planning to issue 1.6.3 to 
show me how) now has very limited time available, so I will have to make 
1.6.3 happen.  I admit a bit of nervousness in picking up such a 
long-running project like this.

Since it seems that 1.6.3 will be the first release to go out over my 
signature, I want to be sure to have the proverbial ducks in a row and 
am currently chasing the last of the administrative "ducks" for 1.6.3.  
If all goes well, I hope to have a first release candidate out later 
this month.  If it works well, 1.6.3 should follow and development 
towards 1.6.4 will resume.
