I recently saw a PR where the author implemented shaders but it was closed by the maintainers as the feature wasn't needed by Zed the editor.

Thanks. I probably could have answered my own question had I simply looked here:

https://github.com/gpui-ce/gpui-ce/pulls

and here:

Sadly it doesn't actually look like gpui-ce has any activity, the maintainer merged one pull request (literally, #1) and then stopped. They should've just added more community maintainers to the GPUI repo directly rather than having a fork.

Yeah, why fork and create confusion if you don't plan to do anything with it?
