Thank you for the information. What if I offer to be the maintainer? Unfortunately i'm not a python coder at the moment. (more perl and vbscript, and a lil csharp), but i'm definately going to learn. I can maintain the repo and eventually become the developer/ maintainer if it help get this puppy back in the repo. I would be happy to take responsibility to physically maintain the repo and keep the youtube plugin working with help from these guys in the forum. I can't speak for kolifanes so all I can do is ask him, but if i just volunteer would that be something that you guys would be willing to work with? I would just need a little training on how your system works in regards to posting to main repo etc etc etc.

Let me know what you think, if it's a bad idea i can understand that but you can't blame be for trying to keep this thing alive since i use it all the time

Thanks for your help!

Has he given approval for his repo to be used for this purpose? I can see it being OK for his updates, but there seem to be other people around here who seem to want to help patch things and keep them going. That's perhaps not quite the same case.

I would personally say the usage of his repo would de-facto make him the maintainer, which may not be what he wants or presumably he would have already made a request himself already and stated he wanted to take that role.

Whilst I fully support having a working and reliable add-on for this in the official repo, it should be done correctly so as not to upset anyone or force them into something they may not be comfortable with. So please ask him about it, and to make his feelings known here.
