Hi,

Can you please refrain to adding abandonware to the tree which already 
needs local cleanup and patching as upstream is dead. Upstream tree 
hasn't been touched in years, multiple reported issues are unanswered 
and unresolved. You've added one yourself with a suggestion but why 
didn't you create a PR to make it easier for upstream? [1] We'll need to 
at least to fix it manually with CMake 4 given that upstream is dead. 
There are also already multiple projects which appears to be very 
similar in functionality and at least four are maintained by you, none 
of these suffice [2]? 1: https://github.com/voldyman/MarkMyWords/issues/102

2: deskutils/notekit (maintained by you) deskutils/vnote (maintained by 
you) editors/ghostwriter editors/marker editors/remarkable (maintained 
by you) editors/retext www/writefreely deskutils/mindforger (maintained 
by you) On another note, are there any timely plans on addressing your 
currently maintained list of ports which portscout lists ~25% as 
outdated and PRs with multiple requests such as deadbeef which have been 
open for months? If you're unable to handle all just return a set of 
them to the pool and/or try to find new maintainers. It would also be 
nice if we could keep security/rhash up to date given that it's used by 
high profile consumers such as CMake. Best regards, Daniel
