I contributed a partial fix to blockdiag back in February, but it has had no traction.

Designate only has a few diagrams using blockdiag, so our plan is to switch to simple graphviz replacements and remove the requirement on blockdiag.

we hit a similar issue with sphinxcontrib.seqdiag https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/commit/00347ca9b7ea4e52b1833340c0886... also caused by https://github.com/blockdiag/blockdiag

we ended up rendering the images to SVGs statically and then removed the usage of sphinxcontrib.seqdiag and included the svg images directly instead.

that is proably what will have to happen with https://github.com/blockdiag/sphinxcontrib-blockdiag too

Hello,

There are projects[1] which are depending on python-sphinxcontrib-blockdiag[2], which depend on blockdiag [3]. Blockdiag project has no recent changes and seems to be unmaintained. Current version of blockdiag is not compatible with Pillow 10 [4] which is included in current in-flight requirements update [5].

I was trying to contact the maintainer, but with no success. What'd be the best way to proceed? Are there any replacements for this project?
