So, suppose shane never updates Scid : then Scid is a dead project, right ? Suppose there are forks (any fork is insane for me in open source world), and Shane wants to continue Scid development (in 2007 ? in 2010 ?). What can he do ? Try to catch up and merge projects with different names, that followed different paths for months / years ? Not an human task. My main goal, if authorized to do so by SF staff, is just to change 2004 to 2007 on Scid web page and update downloadable files. As I said if Shane disagrees, that's also a good thing as we will have his position.
But if someone does not update its project for 2 years I don't see how he could object to people trying to improve the situation. In commercial or open source software, any app not supported or updated for 2 years is considered as dead, even it's not fair.
