JIRA DVCS connector maintenance

Hi,
I have a question about the DVCS connector maintenance.

As described in https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Everything-you-need-to-know-about-migrating-from-the-DVCS/ba-p/945910 post, “The DVCS Connector for Jira Cloud provides the integration for Bitbucket Cloud, GitHub, and GitHub Enterprise. The GitHub for Jira app replaces only the GitHub integration (not Bitbucket Cloud and not GitHub for Enterprise - yet)”.

The GitHub (eg. SaaS) was deprecated on June 30th 2019 as part of the above initiative, the Bitbucket Cloud integration is still valid, and also the GitHub Enterprise (eg. on-premise version / self-hosted) one, which will be deprecated in the future, but no exact date is yet available.

As I understand at the moment, the DVCS connector is still used and recommended by Atlassian officially for Bitbucket Cloud and GitHub Enterprise (eg. on-premise version / self-hosted) integrations under the general Jira offering.

Looking at the DVCS connector’s source code (Bitbucket) I see that no updates have been added on it for the last 5 years (since 2016-12-07). Can someone please share a few details about the maintenance of the connector? Is it still under Atlassian ownership, is it still security-wise maintained?

Thank you!
