I'm glad to see that youtube-dl finally has a new maintainer. Which brings me to the question, when should we expect to see the next update?

From #29753:

Why are there no new releases?

🙄🤦‍♂️

Due to the global supply-chain problems, we're awaiting shipment of necessities for the code-monkeys, in order that they consent to producing code. This being a 3-4 (out of 5) banana problem, after all. 😁 Plus, bananas are a (Cavendish) monoculture, so we must be extra careful that the plague doesn't start infecting them, which would require even more vaccine doses.

Of course, ample complaining by many users always greases the wheels.

You could always ask the code fairy, or Santa, instead. That would be quicker than installing a totalitarian government to whip keyboard-bashers into submission.

I hear that code-monkeys prefer free-range bananas, though.

See also the BOFH Excuse Generator for an explanation of the cause of the delay.

@pythonkenyard the question was asking when is it going to be ready? and how and who determines that it is ready? is that person able to do that or is busy with something else, is help needed?
