People who want to choose this package might think it's being maintained by Vercel but they have stopped maintaining it a long time ago. It should be moved to a different github organization or the README needs to say this so users don't think there's a company like Vercel behind it.

@XFaonAE this package is not maintained by Vercel anymore from a long time, it's maintained by outside collaborators in their free time like me @jesec @erossignon. If you find a bug consider opening a PR and fix it, this is what I do when i find one

Who decides which pull-requests are accepted into the next version? Who decides and does publish the releases? Vercel, or the outside collaborators?

Non vercel associated maintainers, from what I'm seeing

I review pull requests and make technical decisions. I also make release calls.

Vercel is still the steward of the project, and an authorized Vercel employee reviews and publishes the release to npm.

No need to be oversensitive and quote the license Jesse. Nobody is demanding free support.

It's already clear Vercel doesn't maintain this project anymore. Why not be transparent about that so people can be aware of that when deciding whether this is a package they want to use?
