From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact remains though: why did they literally go radio silence on this issue for over a year? Like, a simple, "I would like to notify everyone that I'm working on this." would have been sufficient. Was that too much to ask?
Maybe they weren't working on it.
If with "it" you refer to Ventoy, then I'd like to inform you that they've been doing a good job at maintaining it. They've even had multiple releases^[Those being 1.0.98, 1.0.99, 1.1.00, 1.1.01, 1.1.02, 1.1.03, 1.1.04 and 1.1.05. The most recent of these was released at the 24th of February of this year.] since the (original) issue was opened.
It's pretty obvious that by "it" they meant the issue.
