Ive noticed its has been any activity in their github for a longtime. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
There are a few more info that could be added nowadays like Display Protocol (Wayland/X11) and Display size. FastFetch does this but Neofetch is globally recognized.
Fastfetch vs Neofetch
How does it work, one requests the devs to take over the project or clones it?
Sure, reach out to the dev to ask to help maintain it if you want to keep the repo. If that doesn’t work, clone it to your own repo.
Just like xz!
Yeah! Just… without the bullying and exploits.
