The istanbul-instrumenter-loader project now appears to be archived/abandoned by it's maintainers, so the likelihood of it being updated to support webpack v5 seems remote at this point.
I was already considering replacing istanbul-instrumenter-loader with coverage-istanbul-loader, because the last published release (istanbul-instrumenter-loader@3.0.1) uses a very old version of instanbul-lib-instrument that doesn't support some newer ES2019 language features like optional catch bindings.
However it is not immediately clear whether coverage-istanbul-loader supports webpack 5 yet or not? (package.json file has webpack: ^4.43.0 in devDependencies)
If it does already support webpack 5, that's great. If not, are there any plans to add webpack 5 support?
There doesn't appear to be a lot of recent activity in this project, so I'm wondering whether this project is also at risk of being abandoned?
