Maintenance status?
I am opening this issue to discuss the maintenance status of `passlib`!
(please note that I am also myself an open-source maintainer and I don't feel entitled to anything here, just trying to share some useful info & concerns).
I am a newcomer to `passlib` and only using it via Ansible, because it is required by default on Mac if one uses Ansible:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/f22231de203450128dbfcd3277799d759d861abd/lib/ansible/utils/encrypt.py#L94-L95
EDIT: :warning: soon **all** users Ansible will likely rely on `passlib` (see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81949#issuecomment-1766693535).
I am a bit concerned about its maintenance status, due to various hints:
- the last public release was done 3 years ago
- no recent commits
And also issues like:
- #186
- #185
- #148
The fact that it is used in Ansible (something largely used) is also a concern!
It took me a bit of time to find the right place where discussion still occur (via [this comment](https://github.com/glic3rinu/passlib/issues/55#issuecomment-1487631731)).
Is @eli-collins still maintaining the library? Has someone taken over?
Happy to help out, by the way.
Thanks!
