No, but supposedly someone forked the DMCA repo and pushed youtube-dl into their fork.

Ah, that's a neat trick. Although I thought GitHub had banned the specific blobs, but evidently not (yet?).

Someone committted the entire sourcecode to the DMCA project via a bug that github has refused to fix as a form of protest of both parts.
