Let me get the rest of the functionality built in then.
I thought there was no process for someone to take over maintainership of an existing addon, but if the repo maintainers will let us, then great.
There are tens of thousands of installs of the existing cbc.ca addon, which is currently marked as broken, that will come back to life with a new update.
The CBC news add-on was a compromise as most CBC users wanted either news or sports. MetalChris until recently was maintaining a CBC sports add-on.
There is a kinda unwritten process to takeover an add-on which involves requesting the original author and waiting a reasonable period of time.
I personally don't see a problem as I'm both the original add-on author and one of the add-on repo maintainers for kodi.org.
You can find a list of add-ons I maintain here:

I have a number of other Canadian add-ons which I would be happy to pass on as well. It used to be easy to maintain them, not so easy now.
