I have been looking for resources about contextual bandits too . But i failed finding anything good . Closest thing i found was Vowpal wabbit , same as you and same problem - unmaintained . Tried searching hn about bandits but didn't find anything useful either .
I was looking for algorithms that can find new interest of users . I felt like after all these research all i learned is the ancient technique of showing x percent of random items to users .
