Pnut: A C to POSIX Shell Compiler you can Trust
All of Android is still based on a pdksh-derivative known as mksh, which is an enormous install base.
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
OpenBSD switched their default shell to their own pdksh-derivative known as oksh.
https://github.com/ibara/oksh
There was an effort to (re)start ksh93 development, but AT&T halted this effort. The bugfixes from the failed effort have moved back into Korn's last release.

Faster Shell Startup with Shell Switching
David Korn's ksh93 was passed on to a new set of developers, who attempted to release a new version; AT&T rolled back these changes due to performance problems which raised questions of support status. It does appear that ksh93 development has resumed, and a new version was released late last year.
https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/releases
The independent pdksh spawned mksh, which is the default shell used in Android (as it has a BSD license); mksh appears to be very much active.
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm [https site has cert problems]
OpenBSD also forked oksh from pdksh. This is certainly well-maintained.

CVE-2022-45063: Xterm
I don't know if this is helpful or just annoying unsolicited "advice"
Anyway, for those of us who like openbsd ksh(all two of us) which is derived from pdksh. there is the project oksh.

What is a good alternative to Zsh?
I like oksh: https://github.com/ibara/oksh

OpenBSD 7.0 Released
...and that ksh descended from pdksh, and is distributed as the oksh portable project here:
https://github.com/ibara/oksh
The MirBSD Korn Shell also descended from pdksh, and it can be found here:
http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
I don't know about the feature differences and code quality between these two; they both implement most of ksh88, and a small amount of ksh93.
I prefer mksh when I need something more than a POSIX shell.
