Yes, sorry for the poor wording of less abandoned". I picked it 
for Brian's project because it used to take ~1-2 months for a 
simple bug fix to get in. Now it can be merged within a day.
No worries, Brian is still developing his tools (e.g. 
https://github.com/dlang-community/dfmt/pull/318), but other 
people do more active development on/with his awesome libs at 
"upstream".
