Comment:

 Obfs4 is only unmaintained insofar Yawning Angel does not want to maintain
 it anymore. Since we ship obfs4 in Tor Browser, we obviously take
 responsibility for the code and would implement bug fixes â€“ even if that
 means we would have to fork the repository.

 That said, #30716 is about a work-in-progress improvement to obfs4.

 I'm closing this ticket because the situation is not as dire as it may
 seem.
