The list isn't very active as rhythmbox itself has been stable/unchanged fo=
r a long time now=2E That's good though because I find rhythmbox to be extr=
emely stable (outside of plugin issues)

The issues with plugins are usually plugin/distro specific issues as well =
so most of the time it's probably better to file a bug with your distro for=
 the alt toolbar=2E

The genre plugin might be a bit too niche for most especially with renamin=
g tags that way=2E I don't actively maintain most of my plugins anymore as =
there hasn't really been large enough changes in RB to warrant going back=
