Forking a project doesn't really mean much, you can do the same thing with a press of a button.
People often do this when a project is abandoned. Fork it and announce the fork on reddit. But they have zero coding knowledge and are expecting people who do will join their fork (They would just fork it themselves they don't need that person).
Not saying that is what is happening here, just explaining why a fork existing changes nothing. Technically there are over 1,500 forks already. This is usually done as part of the workflow of contributing code or simply to backup a project with no intent to maintain it themselves, most are likely not true forks.
Only advantage I would say neofetch has is because it is written in bash it is easy to contribute to. Everyone and their dog knows bash and if you don't you could probably teach yourself by looking at the code. It's simple.
