Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Republish Old Posts version 1.27 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
** WARNING: DON’T USE THIS PLUGIN IF YOUR PERMALINKS INCLUDE DATES **
The Republish Old Posts plugin helps revive old posts by resetting the publish date to the current date. This will push old posts to your front page, the top of archive pages, and back into RSS feeds. Ideal for sites with a large repository of evergreen content.
Why would you want to do this? Here are a few reasons:
New visitors to your site haven’t seen your old content. This will help them discover it.
Old content won’t show up in date-based searches on search engines, but resetting the date can make them look fresh again.
People like to share and link to new content and they determine that by looking at the publication date.
A pro version (a lifetime license is less than $15) with many additional options (see screenshots) for controlling when and what posts are republished.
