If you don't want to release it, maybe a fork could be released by me or somebody else?

I've thought about this. I don't have the time to commit to maintenance, and I'd feel bad if people were writing 1-star reviews because of bugs I don't have time to fix. I've clarified that this package is BSD-licensed, so you (or anyone else) are free to fork & release on the App Store if you want.

As a courtesy, I'd ask that if anyone does this, that they cite this project in the App Store description. A link, or name, or whatever is appropriate. I don't know what you can write in an app description.

And I wouldn't mind an icon contributed back to this project, as it still does not have a legit app icon.

I'll be happy to create the icon and adhere to those term (which are what I would expect myself)

I don't know if I'll release the extension but I'll put it on my list!

Oh hey, thank you, much appreciated! Much better than the placeholder I made for myself. I'll include this icon in the next release. Let me know what name you wanted to be credited as, or I can just use your name from your Github profile.

Thanks again!

From what I've seen, it's rare to see extensions or minor Mac apps that dont have updates for a while get too many bad reviews, if any at all. The big exception is if there's payment involved or trial etc.

I think if some one can put the app up on the app store with a one liner in the description saying it's open source and you can see Issues, code here. Some disclaimer of updates or bug fixes might not come as people expect, and so on.
