I was thinking we can probably keep Hulu happy by hitting their ad counters. Then they continue to generate ad revenue so no loss to them and everyone wins.
The only reason I moved the plugin to gitorious was that I was told that the Hulu code in SVN was dead and I would not be able to get svn commit access to it. If you already have SVN access to the original tree then by all means feel free to take it back to there. In the meantime, if you submit merge requests on gitorious I will continue to pull them into my tree. My main concern is if the code base gets fragmented. Please, if you want to move the code back to SVN, first get a consolidated tree off of git with all of the latest patches/enhancements, and then I'll shutdown my git repo.
The code I started from (get_hulu perl script) also has support for their subtitles, but since I didn't know how to associate a subtitle file with the current stream in XBMC I didn't bother to port that over to the python module. If you know how to do that, we can certainly add the subtitle data easily enough.
