The maintainer seems to have abandoned it: https://github.com/indutny/elliptic/issues

I wrote a shim library and posted it on their issue tracker: https://github.com/indutny/elliptic/issues/343

Unfortunately, adoption seems slow. I'm talking with a few people about how to move the ecosystem to something more secure like noble-curves, but it's tricky.
