Currently there are many open issues on the Sleuthkit issue tracker: https://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit/issues

There appears to be activity in the form of commits but not in the form of response to issues and most PRs. No replies to direct inquiries with the maintainers.

Maintainers of Sleuthkit seem to currently lack the resources to address the open issues.

Many code weaknesses (https://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajoachimmetz+) and incorrect/unexplained format interpretation have been found in libtsk, e.g. HFS+/HFS (#66), ext[2-3] (#60), NTFS (#61, #62), FAT (#82)

Bad security patch hygiene sleuthkit/sleuthkit#2622

Since pytsk heavily depends on libtsk, new features for pytsk are on hold until these issues have been addressed
