Any revival of this plugin will be appreciated. Unfortunately, we cannot just fork the repository and start releasing from it. It may be considered as a highjacking of the plugin. Plugin maintainers commonly do not sign Jenkins CLA, hence we have no formal permission to do so.
I think we should fork the plugin to jenkinsci and start preparing it to the release with patches (including stuff like CI, parent POM update, etc.). If the maintainer does not respond, likely the only valid option will be to rename plugin and to change packages to avoid data conflicts. But it will require much work to implement the proper migration code. I've added Gregory Boissinot to Cc. Maybe he could suggest the proper contact.
