As can be seen in commits history, there is barely any development going on, but there were some bugfixes since the last released v1.1.2 from 5.5 years ago (NEWS file mentions them), so it would be good to release new version, v1.1.3. I feel bad it didn't happen earlier.

To make it happen I need to do following steps before:

• find my GPG keys and subkeys (which hopefully are somewhere on some disk or backup of some disk on another disk...)
• recall passwords that I used for the keys
• relearn gpg on:
  • how to import keys into some of my currently used machines
  • create new signing subkey (old one surely expired)
• reach to some folks to sign new subkey

And it was similar struggle in the past. GPG always seemed a bother to me. Maybe it's just me, or maybe other folks who use it rarely (i.e. not even monthly) can relate.

Side note:
Truth is that I don't really use metastore myself (and it's like that for many years already), that's why the project had not seen much love other than fixing bugs.
