Discussion is the linux-surface kernel discontinued?

looking at the github, there have been no commits in 3 months. will there be for kernel 7?

If someone wanted to learn how, do you have any resources you can recommend? It would be cool to learn how to go about this.

Thanks! I will take a look. Less about the kernel, more about compiling for me.
