New project fork?

What new feature development or bug fixes are you looking for 
specifically in this fork? I ask for two reasons:

1. I, as a user, generally consider password-store to be feature 
complete without need for major feature development. I am happy with the 
current implementation and do not wish for it to change. New features 
would mean new complexity which must be maintained/validated and which 
may introduce instability/insecurity.

2. Social pressure like this is exactly how the XZ supply chain attack 
started. That included multiple users piling onto an already 
over-stressed maintainer to influence them to believe that someone else 
should maintain the project. password-store which naturally handles 
sensitive data seems like a ripe target to me.

If there really is no maintenance happening for security issues or 
similar, I don't want to dissuade. I have admittedly not closely 
followed or ever engaged with this mailing list before.

Please just keep this useful tool continuing to be useful and trustworthy.
