You seriously can't do this yourself? Clone the repo and change the name using find-and-replace and run install. No need to insult.

That won't mitigate the PR damage involved. A fork would need to actually just plain outcompete the original app.

Sorry, did not mean to insult. Just stating how I interpreted the name.

There seems to be a number of forks already (currently 12).

Many people will fork just to keep a backup.
