well, the original dev did release the code as open source. you are free to take their lead and continue on with modifications in your own source or even as a fork if you feel so strongly about it needing to be maintained to that level.

Yes, I certainly could. This comment chain started with "why is stale a bad thing". It's bad because I have to do that.
There might be a maintained fork/separate project that does what I want that I would like to find instead. Or maybe I was just searching to save myself 30 minutes on a one time task and I'm not up for adopting an abandoned project.
