[Plugin: Capability Manager] This looks like an orphan

Agreed… looks abandoned.

I’ve been using it a little while and it still works well enough though!

Maybe it’s just fallen of his radar!? He’s still posting about Catalanisme on his blog but there’s nothing about the plugin there that I can see.

anyone wanting to pick up development?I’d love to use it but reluctant to start using an abandoned plugin…

I’ve had this installed for awhile, and I see no reason to avoid using it if it works. It’s not as though it implements a shortcode or something that is interacted with constantly and might break with a random update. Most of the useful functionality seems to simply be tweaking database settings. In fact, on one of my sites I made the desired changes and simply disabled the plugin.

A bigger problem for the community going forward, is that if someone wants to continue development and the author is unresponsive, is that his site is not in The Wayback Machine and therefore a lot of information is lot e.g; most recent version, the wiki manual, etc.
