Whether i can take over this plugin?

If you want to take the project over you’ll have to speak with John Godley, or have him add you as an author. The plugin is licensed as GPLv3, so you can fork it. I recommend reaching out to John again and asking him directly.

Did anyone get a response on this or no if this has been continued under a different name?

id love to know this as well.

Also wondering what the result was here. Was about to ask the developer if he was going to update this for newer WP versions, when I found this post.
