The project wasn't maintained anyway, so this makes no practical difference. There was good open pull requests unhandled for years (e.g. https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat/pull/96 since 2015) that never got reviewed or merged. I offered to help with the project 6 months ago but got no response from the original author whatsoever, until yesterday when he locked down all issues and thus prevented any further communications (see https://github.com/dagwieers/dstat/issues/158). I have also contacted the current Debian maintainer last year and have offered to maintain the package in Debian, but turns out this maintainer was kicked out from Debian and thus not open for collaboration. I still use the tool and throwing away the current Python code base would not seem to be like smart idea...
