Has anybody here ever successfully rescued an abandoned open source project?

UltraHLE, the n64 emulator

@namnbyte In what sense did you rescue it? It's still very dead, afaik.

I thought about it in one case (Xuggler) but decided it probably wasn't that useful in the grand scheme of things. That's often the case with abandoned projects - many end up that way because there's not really a need for them anymore. I prefer to contribute to active ones instead.

@AlmondSauce The one I want to save is popular (lots of open PRs, issues, etc) but it looks like something happened to the maintainer.
