That's fine. Get better soon.

Well, since there is an upstream project, I think it is probably best
to use their tarball and have patches against the latest release.

However, this is indeed quite old, so it might make sense to fork it
and have an own git repository to work on it and release every once in
a while. Like we do with guardian...

Maybe it makes sense to get in touch with the original maintainer and
see where that goes. That depends on what changes you are going to
make.

Best,
