microsoft's mono team says that monodevelop open source is abandoned. they won't develop it further, and they develop VisualStudio Mac (based on monodevelop) as closed source.
so the repo
https://github.com/mono/monodevelop
is a sort of archive, and won't receive any commits any more from microsoft or mono-team.
we hope - if we can get a recent working to run on .net 5 and later - that they
- give us maintainer rights on the mono/monodevelop - repo
OR
- find some way that monodevelop can be developed officialy by this community
but first we have to deliver a working, future proof result.
so it would maybe confusing to have a package called "dotdevelop" with monodevelop inside for some time, and then change back to package "monodevelop" again.

According to the issue described by kingkhan94, https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/issues/8006, for the last year or so MonoDevelop 8.0 has not been buildable on anything but Mac. The community has created a fork for a new environment at https://github.com/dotdevelop/dotdevelop.
