It seems like there isn't much volunteer time available for Rhythmbox
maintenance at the moment. Jonathan is/was the only active maintainer in
recent times, but the last time he merged a patch in GitLab was 6 months
ago.

This raises an interesting question of how the project can continue.
Software projects work best when there is a dedicated maintenance team to
review and merge patches. This requires a good knowledge of the codebase
and a continual dedication of time, though. Is anyone interested in taking
on such a role?
