f-r currently fails to build (#1603956), it has a bunch of bugs open

The last upstream commit was 2 years ago.
f-r has is annoyingly outdated and gives often outright bad advice
(for example about BR:gcc or BR:g++). The situation would be significantly
improved if the outstanding PRs were merged.
f-r is also python2-only now, which will be a problem soon since
support for python2 is waning [4].
Is there any hope of upstream and downstream activity on f-r?
I sent numerous PR upstream to update its functionality.
I maintain my own patched version on COPR:
