FWIW - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/c/ccextractor.rb (the link pointed to in https://github.com/CCExtractor/website/pull/40) is also gone; the formula was previously disabled and subsequently deleted after one year of disablement.

I do provide a formula at https://github.com/alebcay/homebrew-ccextractor/blob/main/Formula/ccextractor.rb but this is even less-maintained and has no prebuilt binaries - I may revisit it once in a while to try and keep things working but no guarantees that it continues to compile on newer versions of macOS.

For anyone stumbling here looking for a quick two liner to install ccextractor on macOS:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alebcay/homebrew-ccextractor/main/Formula/ccextractor.rb
brew install --formula --build-from-source ccextractor.rb

I saw that this was merged already, if so - do you know why is the formula unavailable on brew.sh?

It was merged on ccextractor website, not brew.sh.

I get that, but who is the maintainer of the formula on brew.sh? Is there one?

But that's not the reason, adding ccextractor to brew.sh has to be accepted first, since it's not there.

It was already there in the past, who added it then? Maybe they will be willing to add it again.
