It hasn't been developed a single bit in at least 2 years, maybe 3.

Sure, although it isn't widely used so there isn't much "community"
activity there.

The top open-source BBS software is Synchronet, under constant
development, with updates of some kind every single day.  The author is
readily available and very receptive to input.
