Part of the incubation process is to gather what's the team working on it.

+1. That said, what we could do is incubate into playground and see if
we can assemble the required "Healthy team (healthy proportion of
volunteers, inclusive towards new contributors, ideally more than one
developer)" if not the incubation would simply fail.
It feels wrong to incubate a project that is already out of
development. Especially when we already have a number of music
players...
I feel like there is a bit of nuance here. AFAIK neither libvlc nor
gstreamer have support for mpd so this does occupy a niche of its own.
Now, whether that justifies having yet another UI instead of investing
into backend abstraction of one of our existing UIs is another
question entirely. A question I would expect to get an answer TBH. Why
incubate cantata when we could make elisa or juk grow mpd support?
There is a substantial amount of code in the UI
it's not only the mpd support
features like cached lyrics, lastfm, wikipedia, serverside playlists....
software written to export lyrics so that they are present when you
switch to info-mode
