Many projects are neither extremely active nor completely unmaintained.
(In case of librsvg, maintainers did some hacking seven months ago.)

It might be worth to contact maintainers explicitly (see
https://git.gnome.org/browse/librsvg/tree/librsvg.doap ) and kindly ask
for review of specific patches (overview of unreviewed patches at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=librsvg ), or to issue a
call for new blood (or invite active patch writers to co-maintainership)
if there is no interest in maintainership anymore.

I'm not aware of any alternative recommended within GNOME currently.
