Does anyone know the status of the Mermaid plugin? It’s from JetBrains, and it hasn’t really been updated in some time other than to bump the until-build value when new IDE versions are released.
I use it in my plugin to generate diagram-based visualizations, and my users have found a few issues. Unfortunately it seems unlikely that those issues will be addresed given the lack of activity on that plugin.
@yann.cebron and @jakub.chrzanowski (and anyone else appropriate for this question), can/should that plugin be moved to open source or similar if it’s not going to be maintained by JetBrains any longer?

Hi, clearly we had no plans for it for several releases. It unfortunately cannot be open sourced easily as it is part of a bigger Grazie service codebase, but we will consider the move to IntelliJ IDEA Community sources.

It would be great to have it open sourced, somewhere. I know lots of folks (myself included) are interested in getting mermaid bumped up to a more recent version: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/MERMAID-190/Update-Mermaid-support-to-v.11.0.0
@yuriy.artamonov - what’s the guesstimated likelihood this will happen? Not looking for any commitment or anything of that nature - just trying to get a sense of if JetBrains is likely to do this, or if it would be better for the plug-in developer community to, from scratch, create a replacement.
