Is anyone maintaining Echo? I notice a number of open

and I was going to add more.
Critical bugs are getting fixed, and new bug tickets are appreciated.
New features are not currently being added, and lower priority bugs are
awaiting developer time - the devs who know the code are currently all
working on Flow. I believe they plan to dedicate a sprint (3 week coding
cycle) to Echo, at some point this quarter. I've been collating a list
of message-related bugs, so hopefully that aspect will get some updates
a bit sooner.
I was not notified when these diffs were made. The
first might be
difficult for Echo to identify as requiring a ping but I think the
second definitely should have triggered a notification.

The second one wouldn't have worked, because there is no signature.
(Mention notifications require a 4-tilde signature, as part of the same
save). There was some older discussion about removing the
signature-requirement, but I think it stalled because of concerns in bug
53132, which I've now split out into
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64778 (thanks for the
nudge :)
The first one is indeed complicated looking. I'll ask a dev to glance at
the diff, and see if it was an actual error, or just an edge-case that
would be difficult to detect properly/efficiently.
Hope that helps.
