Yay is still maintained and will keep receiving updates (ex: pacman 6 support).
I am more focused on making the interfaces on yay more stable and developer friendly, of testing components to avoid them breaking between fixes, checking for bottlenecks. In terms of feature amount you may want to try Paru, Morganamilo has a lot of experience and wisdom on the subject.
This last year has been atypical which also hasn't allowed me to dedicate as much time as I wanted to yay but expect this maintainability focus (as opposed to feature focus) to last at least until summer.

Wouldn't -yay/paru -Sua- break stuff if the updated packages would depend on newer system libraries that didn't get updated because you only updated the AUR? Sounds like a command you should basically never use to not get broken AUR packages to me. It might have its use in some special cases though which I can't think of right now.

Am I missing something or -paru-, as opposed to -yay-, doesn't provide the option to exclude some AUR packages from updating? Like if I run yay -Sua, it gives the prompt:
Packages to exclude: (eg: -1 2 3-, -1-3-, --4- or repo name)
I like that feature.
paru -Sua just updates everything there is to update.

I tried to install paru, but it failed with the compile error of -use of unstable library feature 'inner_deref-- Not exactly giving me a good first impression here, and I did try running -rustup update stable-.
Guess I'll stick with yay for now, until the -better maintained- paru catches up.

There is already a universal package manager for AUR on arch: PAMAC
you can actually use it directly from the command line, so why installing another AUR package manager?
You can use -pamac install xxx- etc
yay & pavu are obsolete.

At first I was about to install it, but then I saw the dependencies:
Packages (1) rust-1:1.49.0-1
Total Download Size: 82.61 MiB
Total Installed Size: 509.69 MiB
I don't want to bloat my system with rust...

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't even aware that yay isn't maintained anymore!
btw haven't contributed much before, but I'm still a bit proud every time I see my wallpaper in a thumbnail or so -

It's a typical fake news or lack of any understanding how open source works. YAY is still under development, the fact one of developers left doesn't define destiny of the product.

I always install paru, then activate colors and change the invert the sort results, so the most important ones are next to the prompt
