    people already did, many times
    and then the original repo’s issue tracker is full of issue where people say that they have made a fork
    and no consesus on which of these forks is to be blessed a go-to successor
    so currently we have an outdated repo and a lot of fragmentation among successors.

      Story of open source. Everyone needs to create their own version if even one thing is not to their liking. 🤣

      Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. If someone wants to point me towards an active/popular fork of this repo, I’m happy to add that to this post.

        Apparently Lee is organising GitHub Game-Off 2023, so that might be a place where you will be able to get some of his attention.
        Go look into repo’s issue tracker and find all the posts where people say that they made a fork, or are in other ways interested in getting the repo more up to date. Then message them all, organise them together. Maybe even set up a Github Organisation (fancy name for a “group of users”), and when you have everything set in place, bother Lee until he transfers repo ownership to that organisation.

      This is then probably better as a wiki, but I do understand why people choose github repositories for the curated nature of them.
