I haven't had the time to maintain django-taggit, and the result has been unfair to everyone. I don't have any more free time now than I did a month ago, which means I don't have the time to try to right the ship. If there's an interest in trying to consolidate the development that's happened in all the forks, I can try to help in any way I can logistically, but I can't review patches or do new development at this point.
