Nginx is a massive project with thousands of stars on github

Yes,, but it was created by one guy to solve a problem at work, and he maintained it solo for a while.

i’m facing this dilemma right now. We require a library that hasn’t been updated in two years with a maintainer/developer that’s no where to be seen. But it’s really the only solution aside from building something from scratch or forking. This is for an enterprise level peice of software/spaghetti from a top 3 company in the industry…and super normal to see happen regularly.
