[copying my response here from the github as well]
I am happy if someone wants to make "fixed" version of my mod. I am not a modder/coder and I only created (and by created I mean modified) this mod to fix issues with the old one so that it would be functional again. If someone is wanting to make their own version of this, they are free to do so! (And I'm pretty sure the license also supports that)
The reason I'm not just merging it is because I don't really understand exactly what it would change. I'm not confident in just changing a mod under everyone's feet, I'm not sure how the settings would migrate, what the new defaults would be, etc etc.
I can put it on my todo list to try it out and see what happens, but again. I'm not a coder. I don't really understand any of this. I barely can use github! So I'm not really the best person to be in charge of a mod, and would be perfectly fine if someone else wants to make a newer better version and publish it on the mod portal and maintain it, and I would happily put a link to it in my own modpage!
