State of the BEEP

Can anyone comment on the state of beep and beepcore-c?

There seems to be no real activity in the past year (no news, no
announcements, only 6 source code files modified during the entire
year).  10 of the 13 bugs are assigned to 'nobody' and 9 of the 13
are over a year old.  The mailing lists are also fairly quiet.

So my question is are these signs of a mature, bug-free, robust
software project, or one that's been mostly abandoned?  Are folks
using beep and beepcore-c?  How well used and widely deployed are
these technologies?  How large is the user and developer communities?
How active are they? Is beep a going concern?

Thanks,
 Phil
