It seems like @forgefed's grant funding ran out and the entire project has just been left hanging, unfinished. This is a potentially important project, so this is really frustrating.
But really, anything important enough to get grant funding probably ought to keep going after the grant funding ends. Maybe grant-making orgs could provide some kind of support for projects transitioning out of funded work sprints, back into volunteer-driven coordination?
