+# Status: "Maintenance mode" - Co-maintainers welcome
+
+tl;dr: The app is still kept up to date, and contributions are still welcome -
+however even reviews for those can take a long time. Co-maintainers are very
+welcome - get in touch if you are interested.
+
+No-one is dedicating significant time into development or reviews. It's still
+kept up to date with Syncthing, Android and dependencies under the wider
+Syncthing project umbrella on a best effort basis. Contributions are reviewed,
+however available time for that is scarce so it will take a while. And obviously it
+depends both on the size/clarity of the change and (admittedly subjective)
+relevance of it - chance of successful and speedier reviews is higher if your
+change is targeted and small.
+
+## No feature request taken (feature contributions case-by-case)
+
+Handling feature requests use up the little time that is present to keep the app up-to-date, and there is no feature development happening. So unless you are opening a feature request to discuss your own contribution before jumping into coding, the request will be closed directly with some template answer pointing at this section.
