Hi Rüdiger, Joe, Thanks, that's clear, and agreed on keeping the history.
Leaving it as it is isn't neutral, though: it still runs on thousands of servers (Debian's popularity contest alone counts about 3,700 installs). I'd like to take care of it: bug reports, fixes and tests, and security reports with the security team. I depend on it in production on Windows, where there is no PHP-FPM. So I'll start with what you suggest: tests, the open fixes and an AI cross-check of the code, with anything security-relevant going to security@ first. I'll mark the PR as a draft until then. Where would you rather see that work, on the PR branch or as patches against the mod_fcgid repository?
