Yes, the original author (John Harper, IIRC) has abandoned it after GNOME has gone the metacity way, but now a new group of people picked it up, and continue its development.

IIRC, for "abandoned" you should read "went to work for Apple, who demanded as a condition of employment that he cease work on Sawfish". Rather nasty of them, if true.

Interesting, I did not know that.
I had the impression that he declared sawfish has reached the mature state, so it did not need further development at all.
I have even managed to look it up - I think this was the point where the group of developers decided to take over the sawfish development, and make a formal release after long time:
