State of GYB

[wazimshizm]

First of all, a massive thankyou to @jay0lee for all your incredible work. The importance of your work here cannot be understated.

I've noticed lately the number of open issues is growing and it's been quite a while since I've seen any recent activity or releases on the repo. I can only imagine how difficult and time consuming it must be to maintain such an important tool free of charge. That being said I have this small anxiety that the repo is becoming abandoned as our business relies so heavily on this tool.

With the recent bugs that seem to stem from rate limiting on backup and restore which I'm sure is probably Google's doing, I'm starting to wonder if we should look for a backup, as if this tool stops working, we will be heavily impacted.

That being said we love GYB (and GAM) and would be happy to pay something if it means we can support it's continued development.

Looking forward to any discussion or feedback around this.

TIA
