Hi Thomas, I'm offering my help, this is positive :-) I'm sure you're very reactive in maintaining the package, no question about it. My offer relates to solving data integrity potential problems, integration testing as well as code optimization. It so happens that I don't have time to do team work on this, hence my proposal to take over if the package was orphaned.
I acknowledge this is not an option for you, no worries.
