Honestly, maybe it's time to just take a step back and assess the existing state of things. Not going to tell you guys what to do here, but I'm pretty sure an assessment wouldn't hurt-- the old code running here can't be left as-is forever for obvious security reasons.
It might even hit the point where a clean-break transition is REQUIRED, losing a lot of existing history. Better to have some idea of how to save what you have before you're forced to lose it.
If it's going to take donations for the time and effort, and for the cost of the software, I'm pretty sure the community will step forward to do so. I'd be first in line, though I don't have a lot to offer therein.
