I have tried contacting Angus (the maintainer of the official plugin) on the Discourse meta forum

I can CC @angus here, as he is also a SocialHub member (and this will also carry over to Discourse Meta as another mention, I think).

Wow, you said you had done the "initial work", but this looks like a quite substantial improvement and functional extension. Very nice! Are the changes intended to be PR'ed to the Discourse AP plugin, or will this be an independent project?

Is there more than the list of 5 basic activities that can be considered generic, I wonder? Perhaps it might make sense to describe what a generic server supports, in the form of Use Cases, in a similar way as the motivational use cases in the ActivityStreams vocubulary spec. Then for each use case a consistent pattern can be specified that MUST be implemented (either refer to AP spec if robustly defined there and/or add additional info on format, behavior, msg exchange).

Roadmap for the official Discourse ActivityPub plugin?

I’ve been disconcerted lately to find that the Discourse team appears to be putting the activityhub plugin on the backburner.

There are quite a few issues and rough edges. It would be good to know more about future plans, if there are any. There may be people interested to work on furthering federation of Discourse in some form or other. See below. I created this thread on SocialHub, so it federates out to Discourse Meta and the broader fediverse.
