is async-std still being developed?

to start, i really don't mean for this to be an attack, or to start a flame war, or anything like that - i'm just trying to figure out what to do with the projects that i am working on that use async. i really honestly am looking for constructive responses here.

i currently have a couple projects built on async-std, which i already switched to after smol was ~abandoned a while ago. looking at the commit history for the repositories in the async-rs and smol-rs github organizations though, it looks like (unless i'm missing things somewhere?) there was a pretty sharp dropoff in activity a few months ago, and at the moment it looks like there have been only around 10 substantive (non-janitorial) commits or so across the entire project since november. the async-std and smol discord servers have also been very quiet since then. should i be worried about the future here? was there some announcement i missed? should i start working on porting all my code to tokio now? i did prefer the api provided by smol and async-std, and i would really like to not have to rewrite large parts of my code again, but i also don't want to get stuck relying on unmaintained code yet again/: does anyone know what the current state is here?
