Repo upstream is archived.

If only it didn't have half a dozen revdeps, sigh.
Comment 4 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-02-15 10:44:25 UTC 
I think this is musl-specific.

So apparently there's a fork [1,2].  However, it looks like not the best kind of fork, and its maintainer recommends using dev-python/ifaddr anyway.  Not sure if it's functionally equivalent though.
