Pmw is still alive and the author was recently contemplating doing a new
release and was thus casting around to see if there were any issues which
had to be addressed on top of what he already had. Not sure how long it
might now be before something comes out, but it is still active. If anything
the lack of activity merely derives from the fact that the package is put
together quite well. Most problems I have seen people having have been
because they haven't read and understood the documentation properly.
