Paragon stated their intent to maintain and support the code in their initial email, and added themselves to the maintainer files.

There's no drama happening here. Paragon guys are trying to give it "properly", and linux guys want it "properly", and the only thing happening is defining "proper" in this context

Thats true... but nothing has happened yet. No one has yet failed to hold up their end. All parties seem to want this to work -- it certainly isn't a dead drop.

Someone else mentioned their commitment.

how is that a good comparison, when you're given puppies you are being made responsible for living creatures, If you're given a bunch of code you can literally just drop it.
