The true author of the plugin in bball. The last homepage for the
plugin is http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-yaepghd.git/
but I do know he lost his password a long time ago. From what I was
told Captiveworks just took it and made their own fork so I guess you
could do the same.

 The true author of the plugin in bball. The last homepage for the
 plugin is
 http://projects.vdr-developer.org/git/vdr-plugin-yaepghd.git/
this is the HighDefinition project and will not work on SD Cards
without 4Mb modification

 but I do know he lost his password a long time ago.
This sounds for me, he give up the project.
- last commit january 2009
- a lot of open bugs...

It isn't a problem to ask the owner form vdr-developer.org
to reset the password or/and add a new one

 From what I was
 told Captiveworks just took it and made their own fork so I guess you

No fork, without to kontakt the last maintainer.
I will not support the chaos on the internet and add a new release
somewhere in the wilderness...

Correct, but bball is still the true author. He created yaepg, and
later yaepghd.

Hard to commit changes when you don't have the password. He never
abandoned it, regardless of the long time since last changes.

If the own of vdr-developer.org is willing to do that, sure, but if he
does then he should only add a login for an appropriate maintainer not
just anybody who wants to merge their own patches. Are you willing to
take the full responsibility of a maintainer?

Since you applied your patches to their fork, I guess you should ask
them to merge your patches there. Honestly, yaepg[hd] would be better
off re-written from the ground up but I doubt anyone have the
motivation to do it.

Anyone who looses his password to projects.vdr-developer.org can just use
the Lost password link at the logon screen,

And if the SSH key to access the Git repository needs to be replaced,
just, just create a ticket here :

http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/project-management/issues/new

or drop me a mail.
