Overview here

https://forum.syncthing.net/t/does-anyone-know-why-syncthing-fork-is-no-longer-available-on-github/25661/39

The new owner of the repo has a fresh github account and apparently has the signing keys from Catfriend1 too.

Time will tell if they are trustworthy, but for the extra paranoid it might make sense to pause updates for a while.

      Two people communicating one-to-one and starting a new account to solely dedicate to maintaining a pretty public open source project doesn’t sound too fishy, tbh, if everything else checks out. (Catfriend1 confirms the handover, etc.)

        Could of course be the same person behind both accounts but at least one of them existed for a while.
