There's the Abandoned Project Takeover (APT) page http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Abandoned%20Project%20Takeovers Creating a new project at sourceforge is pretty easy. On the homepage, there is a link to http://sourceforge.net/create/, where you can create and configure a new project. Although, you can also use github, gitourious, code.google.com or any other project hosting site. Take whatever you're comfortable with, and let us know of course ;-) >> On the other hand, you don't have to use the repository on sourceforge. >> You don't have to use subversion either.

The Address of the contact link on the > dvbcut.sourceforge.net homepage does not seem be helpful. If he doesn't respond, you might have no other choice. If you're willing to spend the time, you can compare the pictures at - http://sourceforge.net/users/svenor - https://twitter.com/spacedentist - https://github.com/spacedentist and see, if he is reachable through one of these channels.
