I've been involved with MPSYT a while back and has been given admin rights to the mps-youtube repository under the mps-youtube organization, but not to pyfa which mps uses. At some point after the owner stopped actively maintaining the project, me and some other contributors at the time was given the ability to merge pull requests.
The impression I got from discussions around that time was that we could maintain but weren't supposed to lead the project.
I've long since stopped using the tool and therefore lost both interest and knowledge about it to properly maintain it, but I've been reluctant to pass my rights on to someone else. It kind of breaches the mandate I feel I was given.
I'm at the point where I'dd b e happy to give the rights to someone if it would keep the project alive. However, I personally think it would be better if someone forks and renames the project. Mostly due to a lot of 3rd party packages being released many years ago which I assume would not be properly updated if the project were to become active again. The only one who can push a new version onto pip is the long inactive owner.
If someone wants to make a fork, I'dd merge any PR that updates the readme to a maintained fork.
