The last release of the module was less than a year ago, which is not a great deal of time in the great scheme of things - I have modules which have been four years between releases for instance. That there doesn't appear to be much activity around the module might simply be an indication that it is relatively bug-free and people aren't having many problems using it. In the first instance I would suggest that you drop the author an e-mail reporting your problem (and if you have a patch that fixes your problem even better) and take it from there.
