I'm interested in helping out, do you have anywhere except for here that you want to co-ordinate?
Hi,
I am also willing to help out.
I can help on system administration, profling, and backend development if there is some needs. Feel free to dm me.
I wanted to help improve this project late last year (IIRC) but that fell through. Made much more progress when I decided to fork the project and do work on my own. Had to make a lot of configuration and some model changes to get the code to do what I wanted. Hosting the project on a Linode VPS was probably a better idea than whatever host is being used currently for gpodder.net; needed a 2 GB VPS as everything was consuming around 900 MB of RAM with the environment and all the workers initialized. The final database, after a few months of running an instance, ended up being around 2 GB in size; still got the last backup.

There's an email thread happening now with the old maintainer and some new volunteers. I think you can find his email here. https://www.freelists.org/list/gpodder
Hi @RollingStar . Is that a private or public thread? I did ask a question about this in the list but it seems rather dead.
I could lend a hand with sysadmin, linux, hosting, Docker, Kubernetes... and a small bit of python.

Tried that late 2021. Went nowhere. Was far better off when I had the means to host my own instance.
gpodder.net has had serious downtime these past few months. It appears to have lost its maintainer.
Some people have popped up offering technical and financial support.
Tech ideas:
My idea for restoring service:
All easier said than done. Still, I get a lot of value from podcasts and part of that is being able to search for pods, subscribe to them, and track which episodes I've played when I migrate devices. I'm willing to contribute money and time where able. I do have good database experience.
