Well, is somebody qualified to and interested in, actively mantaining
wget. As you say a fork should not be necessary, Hrvoje is surely

somebody is interested in the job. Hopefully there would be more than
three committers so it's more protected against changing work

Sorry, I didn't mean it's bad that you're active here. Your experience
implementing similar functionality in curl is really appreciated
