+Project Status
+==============
+
+I wrote the library some years ago to scratch an itch I was having. The itch
+is long gone and therefore the need to keep this library maintained. Over
+years I’ve merged some PRs, but my interest in maintaining this library has
+faded. I have decided to archive this repository. There is a community
+effort to continue work on this codebase, which can be found here:
+https://pypi.org/project/docx-mailmerge2/.
