Its last release was this month. Shipping normally.
This measures maintenance, not quality. A small, finished plugin that genuinely needed no changes in three years grades ABANDONED here and may still be the right choice. What the grade tells you is whether anyone is there if something breaks.
By PublishPress, tested up to WordPress 7.1. Listing on wordpress.org.
