> I'm not seeing anything in the linked issue that indicates why releases are stalled. Is there an issue I can follow that tracks that problem?

This is indeed the key issue here. I think @ahesford 's comment is already a great summary of the situation, but just to add...

> Currently only Github project admins can tag git commits in this project. The current project admins are documented in the wiki - https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/wiki/Dracut-development

At closer look you would notice that none of the project admins are active, and the remaining active maintainers are not able to make a tagged release. Here is one more pointer of a failed release attempt from July: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/issues/2444

> If this problem continues indefinitely, we can investigate other alternatives for keeping Dracut up to date.

I just wanted to get a sense of how much this community is willing to wait for a release for something as critical to the boot process of the system. I think it is reasonable to revisit this issue in e.g. in 2024.
