Indeed, maintenance of nedmalloc has stopped a few years ago (see e.g. https://github.com/ned14/nedmalloc/issues/20#issuecomment-343432314).
About five years ago I tried to upgrade us to the latest nedmalloc version but ran into a performance regression that I was unable to justify the time to investigate further.
