The mp4upload one I did years ago was pretty bad, I think there is a better one. But it does work |

Yeah. Waiting 5 years for a merge request is somehow a dead end. I understand the limitations of the maintainers time. At the same time I want to help but I fell like stuck because of the lack of responses. I love this project and appreciate all the effort each one has given here, in particular the maintainers. But I'm afraid that the way it is today is hurting the project as many people that would help to contribute and perhaps become future maintainers are giving up. The effort to try to hire some of the maintainers to dedicate more seems an interesting idea that worth pursuing it. |

Hello everyone,
we're all seeing how this project is maintained only by a handful of people and number of issues and PR's is going to orbit.
Since many of the PR's are related to adding new extractors I went through all open AND closed PR's to give everyone an overview of how many and which new sites would potentially be added to ytdl. If someone is missing support for a specific site he/she/it can check here to see if the site is listed, and if yes, help with getting the site supported (merge the commits of the respective pull requests into their local repo to work on it), or if no, write and (maybe) contribute a new extractor.
Next to a summary I'm listing all "add new extractor" related pull requests / potentially new sites - both open pull requests and all closed, BUT merge-able pull requests. The latter is important to me because some people closed their pull requests due to lack of response from the maintainers - this second list has to be manually checked (because it can contain duplicates or already existing sites) to integrate those "lost" sites.
We're all here to contribute and make this project great. However, this does not work when contributions come to a dead-end. I would suggest setting up a donations pool for hiring a code reviewer responsible for adding new sites / maintaining site support (or something like that).
@maintainers: Feel free to update these lists as PR's are added / closed!
