More important than the factual details about update frequency is what
the current intentions of the project maintainers are.

gNewSense also went a long time without a release and with a lot of
problems, but then it came back. Our ongoing support for them may have
helped.

What communication have we received from the maintainers, and have we
sent anything to them directly, asking what their plans are for getting
things up-to-date?
