Actually there is some progress. For example there is a new higher-performance GC (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/38#issuecomment-1696...) since a year ago (in fact, at least 3 people over the years have taken a stab at writing a new GC!) And a full port to (certain flavours of) RISC-V was finished a couple months ago and awaiting merge (https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/pull/1267), and might be merged separately into the OpenResty fork (https://github.com/openresty/luajit2/pull/236).

LuaJIT.org stopped publishing release tarballs [1] which caused leafo's GH actions builds [2] to suddenly stop working. The workaround was to start testing against OpenResty's distribution of LuaJIT [3] which is incompatible with LuaJIT.org's version. There is no faster way to make a fork the de facto standard version than to break everyone's CI builds.
