This is just not true. Well, some repos are stable, so no activities needed. I know the main author of CxxWrap, he is a prof in Brussels, and profs are always busy. But he is active in the Julia community and will fix issues if needed.

Understood.
Im count on my expirience with pybind11 and luasol which was commited almost every day (when im working with them). Change my opinion on activities.
Found similar to my issue in c++ repo of CxxWrap (its possibly not important for project).
