Did you made any progress in fixing the issues?

Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.

What we can't really do is fixing problems inside the upstream code.
However, we usually help to migrate the packaging the Debian development
platform Salsa and I would volunteer to do so for you.  However, there
is probably no competence in the eC programming language.

I have not found a new tag.  What about your self-applied deadline. ;-)

It might be time to tag a new release if several issues are fixed.
I have also found some open PRs in Github.

Just let us know about the status and how you want to proceed.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
