Especially considering the last release to youtube-dl was just 6 days ago. Guess OP picked a bad time to post the fork.

Still sitting at 725 unmerged and/or unrejected PRs though.

Let's hope the fork merges those 700 PRs and see which project is maintained in five years.

Keeping software well maintained involves a lot of saying no, unfortunately.

Right... and the youtube-dl maintainers aren't doing that.

Wouldn't not merging a PR be the same as saying no

Saying 'no thanks' and closing is saying 'no'. Leaving it unacknowledged isn't saying yes or no.

Worth mentioning that youtubedl works with a lot of sites, not just YouTube. Most of those PRs are for other supported websites or requesting support for new sites.

Is there anything bad about that number? Something which is very popular is bound to get a lot of PRs, and reviewing them takes time.

The job of a maintainer is to reject PRs. So yeah, they are falling behind in saying no, maybe they just don't want to say no, so they let them sit. Happens everywhere.
