Lydia,
I would contribute. Most of us from Freebase around would gladly help out I'm sure. We'd like to see the data eventually move into Wikidata rather than rot away.

OK, Marco Fossati (aka marfox on Github) is a name I recognize.
Lydia - I'm not upset, just confused by the RFC. Have you considered
asking
Google to transfer ownership of the project since they're no longer doing anything with it? That would do away with the requirement that
contributors
sign a Google CLA and open the door for active project leadership.
I am happy to handle that if I have someone who says they'd contribute to the tool without the CLA but not with it, yes.
Cheers Lydia
