Why did he make a new account on github then? Commits to the old directfb
repo were done from a different account (https://github.com/dfbdok). Also,
there has been no activity whatsoever since October, and no announcement
anywhere, and no response to my request or the other open issue in that
repo. I wouldn't trust that directfb is still alive; we need to wait and
see.

To me, it looks likely that the funding was cut, Denis Kropp has tried to
keep the project alive but then just abandoned it.
