pgaudit was originally forked from a 2nd Quadrant project that has since
been deprecated. The repo you see at 2nd Quadrant now is a fork that
has not been kept up to date with the main repo,

pgaudit is actively maintained, but other than rare bugs fixes it is
generally updated just once a year for each new version of PostgreSQL.

It's safe to say that pgaudit will be around for the foreseeable future.
