You cannot ignore:

and I don't see open issues either (the one that is open is unrelated to the functionality).

That's a good point -- a sign that it is working well for everyone using it.

Remember. Open source software generally doesn't have to release artificial upgrades to boost sales.

Which is more than a year (=ages for a young language like Rust) plus currently "Build failing" badge.

More importantly, it's before Rust 1.0; it was during the time of beta.

Is that any cause of much concern for open-source projects? Anyone can resume development at any time, no? I'd be more worried about closed software that had its latest release that long ago.

Unless you're prepared to do that work yourself, you should be wary before starting to use abandoned projects.
