@pauby I'll take over maintenance of this package... although reading #2706 I do wonder how long

Can you send a message to the Site Admins from the package page, referencing this issue? Once that's done, and you are the maintainer, can you reply here and we can close this?

Done. Let me know what else you require! I've started to build out the repo on my own GitHub, although it may take me some time to get up to speed on how this works for this package... it seems to be using a different method to deploy the software that I am not familiar with.

@arrrghhh I have added you as a maintainer just now. Apologies, this was missed.

Once you take over as maintainer, could you submit a PR to https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/issues to have the package removed from the repository?

I've also written a new update script for this package - if you have trouble, I'm happy to give it to you, @arrrghhh but I'll note that my style is unlike the existing script so if you were looking to replicate a repository similar to the chocolatey-community one, it may not work for you.

If you have a link I'd love to review it @JPRuskin. I haven't finalized this yet!

This worked well for me. Let me know if I can help translate it to AU et al!
