Status of f-spot? Any hope for a release?

[Jack <ostroffjh users sourceforge net>]

With the recent message from the github about an open issue, I realized  
that this list has been particularly quiet for quite a while.  I know  
there has been some ongoing work, and would like to ask again if there  
are any thoughts of aiming for releasing a version of f-spot, even if  
it is designated beta or rc.  I've made a number of attempts to migrate  
to other applications, but still prefer to stick with f-spot.   Despite  
the crash reported on github, the latest git head version works fine  
for me.  (Yes, with occasional crashes, but not on startup, and not  
consistent enough to report.)

Once there is a working release, I suspect many of the bugs at  
bugs.gnome.org can be closed as unsupported, as (at least as far as I  
can tell) the code base has changed quite a bit over the past years.   
Also, once there is a release that will hopefully get taken up and  
released by multiple Linux distributions, that might be leveraged into  
not only a larger user base, but possibly also additional developer  
resources.

Any interest?
