I did a bit of digging on the upstream website and found the upstream
author is on Freenode, talked to them and found that there have been
commits in 2016:
https://github.com/inflex/ripole
<pabs3> btw, ripole was proposed to be removed from Debian because a
crash bug was reported and folks are assuming that the project is
abandoned and insecure
<pabs3> in case you want to reply, click the reply links here:

<inflex> Oh, thanks.
<pabs3> also, you might want to import all the tarballs to git and put
them on github
<inflex> they're already on github
<inflex> https://github.com/inflex/ripole
<pabs3> ah, the web page doesn't link there so I didn't see that
<inflex> ja, my fault, only happened recently.
<inflex> Would you be able to reply on that thread and direct them to
the github page?
<inflex> They can then submit the issue and I can try resolve the
problem (or someone can submit a patch)
<pabs3> sure, do you mind if I quote this conversation?
<inflex> That's fine.
<inflex> The development has been 'dead' because I've not received any
emails/patches for it, and other things have taken priority; or maybe
the emails went to spam. Either way, github is now there, so happy to
engage :)
<pabs3> are you a Debian user? might you be interested in adopting the
Debian package?
<inflex> I'm actually the evil Ubuntu user :D Never maintained a
package myself, is it complex?
<pabs3> ah cool. these days it is much less complex, but there will be
a learning curve :)
