For context, I maintain the pkgsrc package for this, and use it.

Are there serious open issues?  Does it fail to work with Python 3.11?
Something can be maintained in a sense while not having changes, if
there is no reason to have changes.

I can't speak for whoever has write access on the repo, but it seems
obvious that if you have fixed something, that submitting a PR is better
than not submitting a PR.
