I totally understand. I'll also be sure not to request your mentorship or sponsorship with two other upstream projects I'm co-maintainer of until long after things have settled down for you! > I simply took over since the former maintainer of youtube-dl and my > friend died under dramatic circumstances last year from Covid and I > considered maintaining youtube-dl as some last service I could do for > him. That's a very honourable thing to do. I actually totally forgot about that, but I seem to recall someone had mentioned that. I think most of the community does not know that, and it might be worth asking youtube- dl maintainers, whomever is left, that is, to post something mentioning that on the issue tracker. > However, I see no capacity for myself to be the *main* Uploader of > yt-dlp.

He knows much more about Debianization than I do and, unlike me, is an actual Debian developer. I suppose what could be done quite easily is to create a PPA that builds from your Salsa repository. A lot of people would use it and it would attract more attention to the project. Possibly the kind you need in order to get assistance. > > PS: I would love to forward my mail to the bug report log[1] but I'm > not sure whether you give me permission to expose your e-mail > address and the content of your mail there.
