A question for my #WordPress friends.

I've found a plugin which hasn't been updated for over a year. It needs a few fixes, which I've written and tested - not security related.
The maintainer stopped answering support questions about 2 years ago.
I've tried emailing them, but had no response.
The code isn't on GitHub.

I know GPLv2 says I *can* fork and republish the code - but do you think a year is too soon to be stepping on the maintainer's toes?

Advice welcome!
