Tl;Dr: Zeex/subhook, an 800+ star repository, went offline. A few big repositories depend on it as a submodule.

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.
some forks have outdated commits, the latest one recorded by wayback machine last month is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btw, the mirror linked in the github conversation is also out of date in relation to the original repo.
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.
