That's IMHO way too harsh given that the package is uptodate with the
current upstream release despite being orphaned and the issue is
easily fixable.

Ack, https://github.com/telmich/cdist redirects to
https://github.com/ungleich/cdist, but last commit there is from
November 2021 and there's no note that it's no more updated.
Funnily https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/#contributing
refers to https://github.com/ungleich/cdist/pulls
I'll take upstream into Cc so they're aware of these upstream
infrastructure issues misleading users into thinking that upstream's
development has stalled.
I might also do a QA upload fixing these issues. No promises though,
as I'm a bit out of time these days.
Regards, Axel (original author of Debian's cdist package)
