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.
