That's a rather presumptuous statement to make. The plug-in works in the vast majority of cases, and I've had higher priority things to work on. But the plug-in has not been abandoned (no are you qualified to make that statement), nor is it in _serious_ need of repair. Nor do you know how much pre-release work (testing, etc.) I put into a release, whether or not that's the solution to the specific problem I want to go with, etc., so you're also unqualified to state how much time it would take to resolve it.
