Ok, just went through 19 pages of development ramblings. Currently it seems most development has halted, still I'm not sure what the best path there is to walk.
So, for what I understand there is a libcamera integration in indi-3rdparty here: github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/master/indi-libcamera/
And there is also an alternative in python: github.com/scriptorron/indi_pylibcamera. The latter uses the pylibcamera python library.

As the first option is directly integrated into indi-3rd party, where the alternative will never be, I'd expect the first option to be most favored. However it seems there have been many issues with it, and not a lot of patches have been submitted so I'm not sure if everything has been addressed. Also, I had a quick look at the sources, I'm not entirely sure why the entire libcamera-apps has been copied into indi-3rdparty, it seems as if no-one ever gave it a proper clean-up so far. Am I correct in those assumptions?

Also please note that libcamera-apps is about to be renamed into rpicam-apps, as those are maintained entirely by the RPI Foundation while libcamera isn't.
