I've always thought that s9e media sites addon was paid for by Xenforo. Not entirely sure why.
s9e Media Sites 2.19.3

- Start date
Unmaintained, wow.....
that is because it has not gotten an update in 90 days i think. developer has not indicated that he is no longer supporting this addon.
tbh, this should be part of core xenforo. or the media embeds should be a modular component that can be updated outside xenforo releases.

What makes you think that? If that would be the rule loads of XF add ons would be labeled "unmaintained". Xon has explained the background already a couple of posts further up ...
... as it has been explicitely outlined in XF's housekeeping rules for add ons:
Which in this case here once more fire back badly.
More and more plugins are being abandoned, with many still stuck on versions 2.1 and 2.2.
This is a free, open-source plugin. We could put together a team and work collaboratively on a fork of the project, maintaining and developing it together. We could update existing embed codes and add new ones.
this addon sort of relies on the github account of the developer so it would not be easy to manage without rewriting a lot of code to remove dependency. i do think that this addon is not abandoned. @JoshyPHP does not visit the forum that frequently. but he maintains the same addon for multiple forum platforms. maybe he is just more focused on other platforms. should be easy to just file a ticket on his github account and see if he has indeed abandoned this addon?

it does appear that the last activity on his account was around three months ago.

maybe a bit of an over-reaction. He has been maintaining this add on forever and put in countless hours of free work, year after year. Now he has not been around here for a couple of weeks - in my opinion that means nothing spectacular, the more as the add on works as usual and there is no real need to update. Not really an indicator that the add on would be abandoned.
Calling to take over the add on seems not justified in my opinion and even less so w/o contacting the add on author before that via PN or other means. I'd also guess that a "collaborative take over of the project" would with a high probabilty end nowhere after only short amounts of time.
You can already do that for your installation if you are missing something. Just go in ACP to admin.php?bb-code-media-sites/. You could always post updates or new sites to the thread here so that others could make use of it.
I'm developing my own add-ons now and Admin three different sites including an entire server, so my time is limited. But it is an interesting idea!
Xenforo stopped paying him ?
