This is so so sad, :( I've been using Mull for quite some time and recently Hypatia. I guess time to move to fennec since I doubt there's a fork in the horizon, :(

I'll reach out to the old maintainer early January, but I'll try to spend some time understanding the repo before then.

If it requires a lot of maintainace, I'm afraid I won't have the time as I already work overtime as a software dev.

Feel free to DM me. It's a good project and will look good on a resume so it'll be worth my time. I'll be learning the Android kernel but I'm comfortable with the Linux kernel so it's the perfect project for me to be honest. I'm also willing to help organize the efforts of others, create documentation and respond to issues and pull requests.

I was already considering contributing to Postmarket OS or Bliss OS but this sounds like a better fit for me.

Personally, I wouldn't be interested in continuing DivestOS itself, as that is much lower level than I'm comfortale at. If I were to do this I'd focus on maintaining mull. I'll reach out if this seems feasible for me. Will prob have a chance to deep dive on the 26th
