Status of Kolab Community Edition?

Another "me too" email.  My system is still on Centos 7.  I have never 
found the time to resolve all the upgrade/migration issues to a new OS.  
I have been looking for a replacement groupware system, but haven't 
really found one.  Mailcow looked promising, but me and my users have 
gotten used to how Kolab works both via Roundcube and mobile clients.

Things seemed promising about a year ago when the new management chimed 
in here on the future of Kolab, but then radio silence after that.
