Hey,
That is tricky as stem is not maintained anymore and therefore deprecated.
That is a pitty. It would be nice if you can actually make this obvious on the git repo like "currently stem is unmaintained and therefore deprecated" and maybe search for people in the community to take over - maybe ask people from onionshare? Especially as stem is still marked as the way to interact with tor via python. Like it was done on this ml in August: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2022-August/014768.html
There are no further releases planned and talking to atagar last time he said the master branch was not ready for release. We could think about minor point releases for the 1.8 series but those would just contain small bug fixes (like Python 3.10 compatibility) but no new features.
Having a way to work with Python 3.10+ is still great but will not help for our use case as onionshare using the feature of client auth v3.
