bbaserdem [1] filed an orphan request for zsh-zim-git [2]: The maintainer expressed specifically that they will not maintain this package; but are actively keeping the package from being updated. (" Since the upstream doesn't like zimfw getting packaged for global installation, and porting seems to be harder with the latest template changes, I'm going to stop maintaining this package. Contributions are still welcome. ") Also they are unresponsive to packaging edits/discussions on github with the developers; https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/issues/368 In the talk on the package; you can see that the maintainer is actively not accepting maintainers; and are not making any changes.
