f-r currently fails to build (#1603956), it has a bunch of bugs open [1]

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f-r has is annoyingly outdated and gives often outright bad advice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 was thinking about getting the fedora-review checks rewritten into the standard Test interface
(https://qa.fedoraproject.org/docs/libtaskotron/latest/standard-test-interface.html) so that they
can be run in Taskotron. We can also just probably run one big fedora-review check from
a taskotron test, well, this just came to my mind recently, getting the actual solution ready
might take a little bit of time.
