I use station_manager.py whenever I refresh my local preset radio lists, a copy of my setup is on github. I've looked at Radio Browser, not keen on it, has too much metadata, difficult to filter stations to my local area and has a lot of bedroom amateur streams under the guise of a radio station - great concept though.
When I get time (likely when I retire in a few years), my idea is to setup a decentralised framework to collate metadata and the artwork that the community can manage rather than one person. For me I'm only interested in UK radio station, maybe the top 40, if someone say in France wanted to manage a selection of stations for that province then they could create a github and follow the framework and manage their own little bit. I centralised framework could be used to pull in all the community produced metadata/artwork or at least list where all the decentralised datasets for tools to tap into. If someone walks away then it shouldn't break the framework and should support coming along to take over the element. Also with it being decentralised it's less likely to have any commercial value/risk and stay open.
