Hey, Thanks for your interest in the project! May I ask your name so I can address you properly?
Apache Otava is very much in active development. I'd attribute low commit activity to the imbalance between the project maturity and the size of the active community. In other words, Apache Otava has been in development for the last 8 years (see Henrik's article for more details https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.06758) and is fairly stable and feature-rich for its scope. For example, it has been running without virtually any maintenance at my workplace for the last ~2.5 years. At the same time, the active developer community is still small, so you don't see that many interactions yet. You brought up a good idea that we should label GH issues! It's worth briefly discussing how we want to do that, maybe in a separate thread. We would love to see more activity on the project, including voting on releases, participating in discussions, contributing code and documentation, etc! You can learn more about becoming a committer in https://community.apache.org/contributors/becomingacommitter.html.
