Can I build a software around Gearman in 2015?

Question

I'm looking for a queue/job tool and Gearman would perflectly fit my need.

However development seems stalled:

• Last release was 1.5 year ago: https://launchpad.net/gearmand/+download
• Last commit by maintainers as well: https://code.launchpad.net/gearmand

Maintainers seems to have will to start again but it seems nothing really happened since Apr 23rd either.

So is that a good idea to start using gearman now (ie. it's stable enough and stalled developments is not much an issue) or what is the alternative ?

Answer 1

Hopefully yes. I received a notification yesterday saying that the proposal I submitted two years ago is accepted and that it will be merged soon.
