How much in donations do you want to bring this plugin up to speed?

Support suggestion:
Update this plugin.
On the settings and tools pages, add a donation button with a thermometer.
Tell all of the admins with this plugin installed how much you want in total donations to update this plugin to “Requires PHP 5-whatever and above” (through 7.3 right now).
It is barely limping for me at PHP 7.2.11. No “Bulk Actions” work. It’s a royal pain to do things manually, and some of those don’t update the database tables anymore.
I’m posting this because I’m tired of doing phpMyAdmin to get things done in any bulk fashion.
It was a great plugin. It’s on it’s way to garbage status because of no updating. It would be a shame to see it disappear.
If you’re not interested in supporting it anymore, maybe you could find someone else who’d take it over and update it.
Thanks.

Please take a look at the issues I wrote up which illustrates good ideas that can be applied to this plugin:
