How to revive (or take over) a plugin?

See the two answers for “How to Fork a Plugin” at How to fork a plugin? .

I like both of the answers. Contacting the author for a response. If no response, copy then modify/improve/rename, crediting the original author in the code and readme. You should give it a new name.
