I'd be wary of including such a statement in a readme, it may be misconstrued to mean the whole client is unmaintained.

What is your suggestion instead?

I'd mention it's alpha.

But how can we express that there will be nobody reviewing PRs?
And how does the "it's alpha" not reflect on the whole client with the same argument you used above? (I don't think this misunderstanding is likely. I'm just trying to understand your line of reasoning.)

That we're not developing isn't the same as not reviewing PRs. I presume at least one of us has review capacity if someone started fleshing it out.
And how does the "it's alpha" not reflect on the whole client with the same argument you used above?
It does, but being alpha is much better than a part of the project being unmaintained and thus dead.

OK, I'll remember to assign PRs to you, if they come in... ;)
Also, note the unmaintained state of the API client in the README.md
