Consider point release for PRs and plugin activity #6

Given WordPress' plugin directory lacks project maintainer statuses a la Drupal, interpreting plugin support and status is a murky topic.

This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

A point release compiling PRs from the last two years would go a long way to confirming the project status and compatibility for end-users and security-minded WP users.

As this plugin is low-complexity and relatively lacking egregious bloat and up-sell, I would much rather steer my colleagues and my services to blog-copier versus premium plugins ( https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/new-from-wpmu-dev-cloner-the-site-cloning-plugin-for-wordpress-multisite/ ) or premium plugins lacking proper MU support ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ ).
