Seeking active maintenance from actual S3 datastore users who have a financial incentive to keep this project alive AND optimized to minimize AWS billing.

Rationale

Setting expectations. Right now people assume this project is actively maintained.

Kubo does not use this backend, and our legacy collab cluster has no instance that is using S3 backend.
Lack of dogfooding means we are unable to properly triage issues / PRs in the long term, nor ensure performance / quality / cost-effectiveness.

cc @mishmosh @aschmahmann if you know companies / startups / projects that use S3 and could lend engineering time for this
