 * That’s great! Would you have any interest in taking over this plugin on the WP
   Plugin Repository? I don’t see myself having time to keep up with it and if you
   want to make it yours I would be happy to turn it over to someone with interest
   in it.

 * Hi [@scheeeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scheeeli/). Yes, I’d love 
   to contribute directly to the plugin here on wp.org (I think you can add me as
   a co-owner via the “Contributors” meta in the plugin file). I don’t foresee adding
   any features – I’ve been using it for years on my personal blog – but I’d definitely
   keep it up to date in terms of PHP and WP standards. I remember presenting at
   Minnebar years ago, and I told the audience it was my favorite plugin (probably
   still is!).

 * Sounds great! I made you a contributor and updated the code with the PHP8 fix
   that you added.
 * You can now make any changes you need to keep the plugin updated and fully functional
   in the future.
 * Thanks again for your contribution and commitment to this plugin!!!
