"Wick started his talk by saying that it looks like everything is great with the Flatpak project, but if one looks deeper, "you will notice that it's not being actively developed anymore". There are people who maintain the code base and fix security issues, for example, but "bigger changes are not really happening anymore". He said that there are a bunch of merge requests for new features, but no one feels responsible for reviewing them, and that is kind of problematic."
