That's cool. But if that's all this project is, couldn't they have just talked to the one maintainer and offer to help him and be on the team?

https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/43 states the maintainer hasn't been commenting on PRs. I looked on the keepassx GitHub and some issues with no response are over 2 years old.

I wonder how often those conversations take place before someone(s) fork a project because it's "abandoned".

But I love KeepassX and I'll certainly try using the fork.

I would assume that avenue has been tried -- so this project is to pressurise him into opening up to the idea. No idea though.
