He even didn't post since 06/19 and didn't commit on Github since 06/13 (and almost no commit since end of April).
Would be cool to have some news. Firstly to know if he's well. If he's well (I sincerely hope so), secondly to know if/when he plan to return to FC development.
There are some PR pending on the core that no one else can (dare to?) merge. Relying on only one person is really a hard limit. :)

I asked him for his good news by PM 2 month ago approximately but no reply.
I assume he's busy, I hope he's fine...?

I really hope he is fine. But this is the usual vacation season, and sometimes it's good to pull the plug.

Still worried about Werner. He may have made a commit on August the 21st (which was only two lines of code), but still not seen in Forum since 27th July. If one looks at his github activity, its two in May and only three since June. Prior to May he made 278 in 2021.

Let's just hope he is okay and working on something big.

@wmayer, would you mind just saying a few word on if/when you think you'll be back to a visible contribution on FreeCAD codebase? Also if you have an opinion regarding PR that touches FreeCAD core (the light ones) : shall they wait you're back or should authorized ones merge them? Thx

I do not know him, but at least, i think, he likes his privacy (derived from his sort of conversation). Also the sort of he is, diligent and straightforward, he has his reasons what he does (or does not).

Let him be.
