-return to a proper state, which means
+* …there will be no feature development, unless these are contributed
+* …there will be no bug fixes, unless they are relevant to the safety of users, or contributed
+* …issues will be responded to with waiting times of up to a month
 
-* no open pull requests
-* no open issues describing bugs
+The project is open to contributions of all kinds, as well as new maintainers.
