Hi André,
thank you for you open and honest words. That's sadly what I
observed, too.
So anybody who feels fit to step in as maintainer and bring back
some life into the project could be sure of my gratitude!

Speaking as a non-programmer & GNOME volunteer (NOT with my
Wikimedia
hat on), librsvg consumers should evaluate more maintained (and
hence
also more secure and future-proof?) libraries for dealing with
SVG.
With your Wikimedia hat ON:
Could you encourage the right people at WMF to either
- Get a WMF developer to work (at least part time) on
maintenance of libRSVG? This way we could at least get all the
patches merged, that were already provided by volunteers over
the last months/years. This would not only benefit Wikimedia
projects but everybody using libRSVG!
- Evaluate the usage of libRSVG in WMF projects (if there is no
willingness to donate resources). Wikimedia projects might as
well switch to a more maintained library then (as you suggest
yourself).
(Maybe it's even time to stop delivering pre-rendered PNGs and
directly send the SVG file to browsers with sufficient support.)
Regards,
Eduard
