Is this project still maintained?

I really love this project, but the current release got a bit out of date. The last release was on 25 July 2021 and since then we got some promising pull requests waiting to be reviewed/merged (e.g. #311, #287 and #303).
@SimonBrazell Are you able and do you want to maintain this project alone? Maybe we can look for a second maintainer.
I had a short mail conversation with the maintainer 3-4 months ago (Dec., Jan.) with the idea to support/help him.
He was very busy and I didn't get a reply since back than.
I've migrated to a fork: https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect, because it is actively maintained, @ManeraKai and @alefvanoon are doing a great job.
I'm not into hopping from extension to extension, because it's also a lot about trust.
In this case, I think we need active maintainers, because the instance lists have to get updated from time to time and a lot of great features have been added (switching the instance on click etc.).
I have a PR to add metager.org to the search engines list, If there's interest, I can create it also for the libredirect fork, since it's more up to date. LMK if that sounds like something interesting @miku86
@Footur @miku86 My Firefox extension says it was last updated 25 Jan. What I really want is a bypass hotkey as opposed to opening a window and ticking switches, or at least a context menu entry. Also, many of the nitter, libreddit and invidious instances are no longer reliable. Guess I'll have to find some more myself.
I will have to take some time to brush up on my JS but when I do I will definitely push.
