Might be time to try it again - or a different mirror
Same problem as any other project with a single owner, or even a small team. It is at risk of disappearing one day, never to be heard from again.
There are a lot of important projects that fall into this category. It certainly isn't unique to Void.
For me Void seems like a very good distro, I think of it as a naked kernel with runnit init and xbps as the package manager, nothing gets in the way. It also has the nice property where the git repo is the distro in every sense.
The owner had built the distro single-handed over ten years, and GitHub and Freenode helped to eject him from his own project, over his eventual strenuous objections.

Even that link doesn’t give a balanced story. You have to track down the founder’s posts to hear his side and to understand why he had stopped contributing for awhile.
