Sure, I can do that. It should be relativiely straightforward since I
already have the patch ready. Expect a pr either later tonight or
tomorrow.

That makes sense, and in general, I agree with that. There are quite a
few forks listed at https://github.com/muennich/physlock/network/members
but most of them are either far behind upstream with no changes or are
behind + a few commits of their own. Some of the commits were nothing
more than code style changes, and some of them were from pull requests
that were closed with some of them being closed without being accepted.

There was one fork [1] which looked like it had some activity earlier
this year, but looking at the pull requests on the upstream repo [2] it
looks like the work was actually done towards the end of 2019 and it was
just a rebase and force push that was done this year.

[1] https://github.com/dexterlb/physlock
[2] https://github.com/muennich/physlock/pull/79

So, from what I can tell, it doesn't really seem like there's a lot of
development going on anywhere.
