It's been more than a year since last OpenRC release: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/tags Please issue a new one soon. There's one bugfix committed, but not released, which I care about: https://bugs.gentoo.org/755422
Is there anything specific that is blocking a new release? It is definitely actively maintained, since there are commits every few days and bugs are being fixed. That being said, any bugs fixed in the last 18 months are yet to be actually released.
Yes please
OpenRC 0.43 is in the tree.
