I remember I asked a similar question 3 years back, to determine if we can deprecate/remove the implementation we had in puppet-neutron and I heard that nvidia had a plan to keep maintaining it at that time. https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack....
However time has passed and I don't know their current status. You can probably reach out to the core reviewers of that repo who can be found in https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/b1eacba81a0970447508574e91afedfe8a29...
As Brian pointed out, networking-mlnx is not part of neutron's governance and it's maintained in the external teams. Many of repositories in the x namespaces are effectively abandoned nowadays and are not maintained consistently with official OpenStack repositories so you may find several problems when using software from the x namespace.

Hi all,
I've noticed that there hasn't been any stable releases of networking-mlnx since stable/zed and was just wondering if this project still has any active maintainers. I would be interested in helping to keep this project going, so please give me a shout if you require any assistance.
Thanks for all your hard work, Will
networking-mlnx is in the "x/" namespace and not considered a Neutron stadium project. It's also not listed in the governance doc:
https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/project...
Since it has been 2 years since a change merged and the gate is completely broken, I would consider it abandoned, as there is no release corresponding to a maintained version of Openstack (i.e. 2023.1).
I did see the bug you filed [0] but for the above reason I'm not sure it's valid.
