Yes and no. The nuance is a bit specific to how Git works.
Git itself is a very decentralized development platform,
so 'fork' can carry a much less confrontational connotation than it did in the earlier days of FOSS development.
pinterf had opened pull requests for upstream to merge several times before ultim went on hiatus in 2016. That most recent one,
#101, wasn't merged before ultim left, so pinterf's personal repo those PRs were opened from became the
de facto development HEAD. If we needed to get something merged, the PRs were submitted to pinterf, and became part of pull request #101.
In June, ultim came back for a moment and granted pinterf and myself commit rights to the main repository so that it could stay up-to-date. Basically, the development HEAD of the project is back at its original location.
