This space is too hot and the author behind OpenAuth (Dax) is awesome and fast, so this is not his usual tempo. You're free to read the tea leaves, but I wouldn't bet on this one.
There is a sibling post describing this particular project as known dead from the author.
However, my comment is a larger commentary. Imagine if a scientist went off and did research for 2 months and didn’t provide any updates about what they were doing? Would we assume their project was dead? Or a writer who publishes a short story and says “I will turn this into a 500 page novel.” 2 months later… no novel… must be dead!
Why can’t we, instead, assume that people who work on open source are sometimes taking a break? Why can’t we create more fluidity around software… fork it… try to integrate it later? The git model was literally designed around this, but we’ve instead decided to live in a centralized shithole where only the original author is smart enough to make useful contributions… and when they don’t… for whatever reason, we shit can the project and start from scratch.
