Perhaps you could consider switching to git (maybe using one of the git factories).... no promise that people will actually contribute, but at least it would make it more easy.
I've never migrated a project from SF to git(lab/hub)... not sure whether the latter provide any migration tools, so that one could keep all the issues etc.. But at least the repo should be possible.

Yeah, it was time. Original repo was on CVS, btw.
