Status and Future of ndarray?

The date of the last commit of \ndarray\ lies 6 month in the past while many recent issues are open and untouched.

Someone else already asked this question in their issues two weeks ago without an answer so far. Instead a contributor linked to another issue from 2020 were this question was already raised and closed with a new maintainer.

I think ndarray is an important crate for the Rust ecosystem, because everyone who wants to do linear algebra has only two popular choices; ndarray and nalgebra. I have the impression that nalgebras focus is mainly on graphics and lower dimensional algebra so that until now the better choice for high dimensional linear algebra was ndarray.

I don't want to pressure any of the maintainers into any amount of work they don't want to do, it is volunteer work after all. And 6 month of no commits does not necessarily mean abandonment. But for my sake as an interested user and for the wider ecosystem I would like to know if I should rather try to make do with nalgebra if possible, even if ndarray would in spirit be a better fit for the task. nalgebra does seem to have a much more stable base of maintenance, being sponsored and probably used by multiple companies including Embark Studios.
