Yes, the team behind Yuzu and Citra is disbanding, so Citra is being discontinued. But it’s an open-source project under a GPL license, so other developers can maintain their own version of it.
The strategies that Nintendo used for suing Yuzu wouldn’t really work for Citra, as it’s not a current system and doesn’t even require a firmware/keys. Doubt Nintendo will bother either, they never did for older systems.
Well, citing IGN:
The Citra homepage seems to confirm that.

…and then risk the same litigation from Nintendo, or at least a DMCA takedown, something which the settlement explicitly mentions.
Only if it’s being developed in the US/by Americans and/or hosted on American servers.
And where do you think GitHub is?
There’s many alternatives to GitHub. A new repo could exist on a different service, or even be self hosted using git or GitLab.
Not really, they weren’t sued for Citra, but Nintendo saw their chance.
Yep. So I don’t see why they wouldn’t enforce that extra win.
