Sqlx: Is this repo still actively maintained?

[romandvoskin]

I have a PR open that addresses 3 issues but no one has reviewed or commented on it. The last commit to master is Nov 20, 2020. We have production software dependent on this repo. If it's no longer actively maintained it would be helpful to know.

We are at Bitrise evaluating the possible replacements for gobuffalo/pop on the following week. So far my choice would be sqlx, but would like to be sure, that it is actively developed. Please reply my comment.

It looks like gobuffalo/pop also uses sqlx https://github.com/gobuffalo/pop/blob/master/go.mod#L25

@romandvoskin have you found any good alternatives to sqlx?

I'll briefly expand upon what's in the linked post.

The library is maintained.

It is actively used in a large private repos with hundreds of developers. I am pretty responsive to issues we encounter, but sadly I have not been as responsive to the community. Like an email that you will "reply to later", your delay eventually compounds and becomes a barrier to engagement in and of itself.

This project predates go modules by several years, and because of that I've not been attentive enough to that workflow.

I'm going to be addressing that going forward, and tagging more changes.

I've gone through and merged or closed about half of the outstanding PRs as part of the newly tagged 1.3.0, and I'm hoping to pare down the issue list as well.

@jmoiron Thank you for the update. I can only imagine the weight that comes with maintaining something like sqlx. If you are interested in bringing on contributors, I may be interested.

Thanks for your hard work,
Connor
