It's maintained by Intel and Huawei and the devs were very responsive.
I’ve been under the impression that Intel got rid of pretty much all of their storage software employees.
My head goes to the xz attack when I hear that Intel decided to stop supporting an open source tool, and a Chinese company known to sell backdoored equipment "steps in" to continue development, and it makes me suspicious & concerned.
This is to say nothing of the quality of the software they write or its functionality, they may be "good stewards" of it, but does it seem paranoid to be unsure of that arrangement?
