The list isn't very active as rhythmbox itself has been stable/unchanged for a
long time now. That's good though because I find rhythmbox to be extremely
stable (outside of plugin issues)
The issues with plugins are usually plugin/distro specific issues as well so
most of the time it's probably better to file a bug with your distro for the
alt toolbar.
The genre plugin might be a bit too niche for most especially with renaming
tags that way. I don't actively maintain most of my plugins anymore as there
hasn't really been large enough changes in RB to warrant going back.
