How do you plan to get around the fact the only working version of this
library is an obscure outdated fork that doesn't even compile on most
OSes, and that so far the only person to claim being able to compile at
all was you?

You say you're going to "maintain" it, which to me sounds like you just
added your name to this file in order to have an argument against removal,
unless you commit the needed changes to our wrapper and/or to a widely
available and maintained libutvideo repo to keep everything working on
every OS as it's intended to.
Otherwise things will remain as broken as always, but under a new name,
meaning all of Derek's arguments in favor or removing it are still valid.
