GetLatestVimScripts is now part of the standard Vim distribution. Its
latest help (see ":h pi_getscript.txt") says "Last Change : 2024 Oct
05". However the plugin itself
($VIMRUNTIME/plugin/getscriptPlugin.vim) says :
" Maintainer: This runtime file is looking for a new maintainer.
" Original Author: Charles E. Campbell
" Date: Nov 29, 2013
" Installing: :help glvs-install
" Usage: :help glvs
but its autoload script ($VIMRUNTIME/autoload/getscript.vim) has
something even more interesting :
" Maintainer: This runtime file is looking for a new maintainer.
" Original Author: Charles E. Campbell
" Date: Jan 21, 2014
" Version: 37
" Installing: :help glvs-install
" Usage: :help glvs
" Last Change: {{{1
" 2024 Sep 08 by Vim Project: several small fixes (#15640)
" 2024 Sep 23 by Vim Project: runtime dir selection fix (#15722)
" autoloading search path fix
" substitution of hardcoded commands
with global variables
" 2024 Nov 12 by Vim Project: fix problems on Windows (#16036)
" }}}
"
IOW, there have been updates (in the version I got with Vim 9.1.873)
until 12 November 2024. Not so bad IMHO.

Best regards,
Tony.
