My guess is that somebody has already forked it if it's a dependency and so somebody else will just republish it.

Yep, a few forks were identified within a few hours. I think the maintainers had forks too.

Honestly, 800 stars isn't a huge impact anymore on its own. I think the age of the repo and frequency of updates matters more. If there is a fork that is more active, people will switch to it.

some forks have outdated commits, the latest one recorded by wayback machine last month is
e935959d2f9cc642bcbb5e7759b2b1e7196b0947, which can still be found in a few repos:https://github.com/search?q=e935959d2f9cc642bcbb5e7759b2b1e7196b0947&type=commits
btw, the mirror linked in the github conversation is also out of date in relation to the original repo.
