Would be great to have a proper team were we to revive this idea. :)

Sure, why not? FWIW, it would be great to if an upstream project for
mac-fdisk could be revived as I find carrying all these patches a bit
annoying.

Do you have any requirements on what this upstream should look like?

I have been maintaining an improved fork of this software on my personal GitHub namespace for several years:

https://github.com/rdmark/hfdisk

Or to be specific, hfdisk which is itself a fork of pdisk that has also imported all mac-fdisk patches. For context, hfdisk wa s originally forked by Michael McMaster (the creator of SCSI2SD) and improved, however, he abandoned the fork almost 10 years ago now, and his self-hosted Git server is no longer online (has been down for at least 3 years at the time of writing):

http://www.codesrc.com/gitweb/index.cgi?p=hfdisk.git

Anyhow, if a personal GitHub project is acceptable as upstream, I can either rename my hfdisk project, or create a fresh one for mac-fdisk and add you as developer.

Best,

Daniel
