As the maintainer and author of Squashfs that is completely untrue and
grossly offensive.

Many of those patch-sets are merged (where I have received merge
requests) into this repository.

https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools

Others I don't recognise which means they've never been submitted to
me. Distributions are entirely entitled to keep local patches which
they've never submitted to upstream.

Some others including portability patches have been rejected by me.

In both cases their lack of integration does not mean the project is
not maintained.

Do not make untrue claims.
