Re: Sound Juicer support and/or EoL
Good point. I'll see about making a release tarball for it. I'd be happy to maintain the flathub repository too, yea.

Thanks, Link! I see you already have GNOME developer access, so you can go ahead and add yourself to the doap file. I agree with Bastien that setting up CI should be priority #1.

A great way to start would be to provide an MR that would generate a Flatpak through the CI.

Option 3 would be "just leave it there". There are plenty of applications that don't need any sort of maintenance. In this case it would have been nice if the UI changes were made earlier, but it hasn't made the application unusable, even without the patches. I've reviewed the last patch.

I completely agree with these sentiments. It's a valuable piece of software that should not be abandoned. I volunteer to take on maintainership of it. I've never been a module owner, but this sounds like a great opportunity to become one.

Sound Juicer support and/or EoL
Hey All, After reporting an issue related to Sound Juicer, I discovered that the project has been mostly abandoned. There is still a valuable pull request open ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/sound-juicer/merge_requests/2) but for the most part active maintainance has stopped. This puts the application on a crossroads: - Approve pending pull requests and assign a new owner, if only for minimal maintainance. - End of Life the project, and inform all downstream projects (Fedora, Ubuntu et al) te remove it from their repositories in future releases. I lean towards the first. The application is mostly functional so I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. A few small patches (Like the one linked) can keep it going for a few more years.
