That is by no means the most recent message to the list, I don't see what causes you to claim it's abandoned.

I don't understand the deduction, either.

But it seems that no BusyBox bug-fixer has spotted an easy-to-fix error that is stopping the BusyBox Bugzilla from working, and causing the hyperlink in that e-mail to lead to an error message that dumps out a glob of SQL and stack trace in black on red. It has a table named groups, and Bugzilla is attempting to use the table without quoting the MySQL keyword.

This bug was fixed in Bugzilla over a year ago. BusyBox's instance of Bugzilla is still exhibiting it today. It makes Buzilla unusable. Thus I do wonder at all of the automated messages to that mailing list with hyperlinks to stuff that does not work. Perhaps no-one is reading the mailing list as well as no-one using the bug tracker.

Anyone can send mails to a mailing list. It doesn't mean anything.

busybox.net is down, along with their git and bugzilla, and the github mirror has last commit a year ago. The bugged tc.c was last updated 2 years ago.

So, yes, it looks abandoned.

It might have been down when you checked, but it's working (if slow) now, and the git shows a commit as of 2 days ago. At the time of my comment I checked the mailing list and saw messages marked "patch" or somesuch as of a few months ago.

It didn't get merged.
