This sounds like a huge amount of work, I'd be crazy to attempt it.
So count me in. 
It's an incredible lot of work and wont be finished before years end, that's for sure!
...... one would almost think @Thanatermesis is trying to put us 2 on ice so he can procrastinate releasing Retro. 
Anyway .... let's just start it up and take it day by day, step by step. 
Thinking about start ups, all the stuff I've started (sort of) in relation to Elive and never got round to finishing:
- Elive welcome widget
- Documenting live booting (sort of finished that)
- light-GTK-theme (e16)
- E24 theming
- Elive & E16 on arm64 Bullseye(pinebookpro)
- Icon set for customized Elive
- beautified log-out widget
- webkit widgets
- alternate logos
- Wikipedia entry (nonono! never again!)
- create zsync-curl widget (thetechrobo sort of finished that)
- and last: Write a Howto on customizing E16 ( what's there, might be useful for the documentation)
Not counting the stuff I wanted or proposed to start ..... but never did. 
So you could say I'm experienced in firing up lost causes.

Yeah, but it's not that good. Im planning on doing a major rewrite, based on the youtube-dl-gui code, once I change youtube-dl-gui to a nicer gui toolkit.

A good thing is that E16 is "maintained" i.e not under construction any more.
Documenting a moving target is really frustrating ..... it's outdated before you even finished it. 
It's only a wrapper around the command but has to feel like it's a program of it's own and if possible be a tad pretty too.
If possible, try to add some of the "Options" like "rate limit", "video format" and/or "target directory"
Yeah, that's what I was hoping to do.
