I just now heard about comaps and read about their origin on the website. Does it have the contributors behind them to supersede Organic Maps? What is happening to Organic Maps? I am at the moment donating to them.

Yes, I read that, but it might be a little bit biased coming from the project itself. Open source is do-cracy, so it is very important to have core contributors onboard.
Based on commits both projects have a core dev team of around 5 members, organic maps has a lot more small contributors however likely because its an older and more known project. Comaps seems to be solving more important issues with routing though imo
@julianwgs @lens0021 If you’re interested in diving deeper into the topic, this (looong) thread is a worthwhile read: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/organic-maps-open-letter/128851
