Genuinely curious: why does a low number of commits, and mostly commits from one person, give you confidence to keep it around long term?
Low count suggests that the project has an intentionally built core and doesn't undergo churn or feature creep. It's also a good sign that commits per week have decreased substantially over time.
Contributions being mostly from a single developer lends further credence to that idea, because it implies everything is fueled by one person's relatively opinionated vision and taste.
