The real story is that @MeganerdNL contacted me via the email listed, and asked if it could be updated. I replied back that I haven't been active in this community for a long time (and I haven't), so if they wanted to update it and maybe maintain it too, they would have my approval at least (however little that means). One PR merged later, and here we are.
