The reticulum dev have been trying to quit for years and have been quite open about his own personal struggles.

More recently:

- v1.0.0 was supposed to be the time his involvement is over [0]

- 6 months later [1]

> This is not a temporary break. It's not "see you after some rest", but a recognition that the current model is fundamentally incompatible with my life, my health, and my reality.

- But he pushed 3 releases since his last message [2]

It is like he is trying to quit somking.

I am not sure what the problem is exactly but it seems someone need to take over and honor the fantastic work he has done over the years.
