I'm not too bothered by number of stars, nor necessarily by the issue
count (maybe a lot of their work is discussed by email, not the
tracker). Most important, to me, is the number of commits. And that
doesn't look too bad; there aren't a huge number of them, but they're
fairly consistently being made. So I'd say the project isn't dead,
though you could very well argue that it's merely playing catch-up. (I
didn't look at the content of the commits in detail or anything.)
