Taggit fragmentation (open letter)

I was just checking on github if there was a new version of django-taggit and was quite shocked what I saw. The original repository had not been updated for over a year. Yet there are 41 issues and 12 pull requests. There are 114 forks, 17 of which had commits within the last month. 

Shortly, it is a big mess. I'm sure some of the forks have important bugfixes while other just add features required for a certain project. But it is really necessary that either Alex Gaynor or someone else gets that app back on track.

Taggit is the most advanced tagging app. But the main repo has some major issues. Unicode being one of them, whitespace another one.

It looks like hcarvalhoalves fork is the most maintained one now.

Regards
Simon
