Hi Dieter,

The proper way would be to ask the original owner of the plugin to take over 
ownership.
(as admins we also have an email address for ever owner)

I'll sent you the mail addres in a separate mail (and put him in bcc for this 
mail).

Please contact the owner, and let him sent an email to this list telling it is 
ok to take ownership.

Then we can keep the same (good :-) ) name and you can take over ownership and 
upload new plugins.

(In case all fails, as in mail bounces or really not able to contact we can 
always move ownership)

Note about that the original repo is gone... I'm not sure if Google Streetview 
actually is OK with this kind of plugins, maybe he was afraid of legal stuff?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hello everybody,

I hope this is the correct place to ask for advice.

The StreetView plugin (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/StreetView/) is one I 
regularly use. However, all the links from the plugin details (Code repository, 
Tracker, Plugin home page) are dead.

As I’m testing the macOS/arm64 Qt6 builds 
(https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/60039#issuecomment-2567661209) I adapted the 
plugin to be compatible with it Qt6 and am now looking if others are 
interested. As the original code repo seems to be gone, pushed my changes here: 
https://codeberg.org/kommen/QGIS-Streetview

How does the QGIS community deal with such apparently orphaned plugins?
Would it be acceptable if I create a new plugin entry on plugins.qgis.org 
<http://plugins.qgis.org/> with a slightly different name where I upload my Qt6 
compatible version?

Thank you all in advance
Dieter
