(You don't need to cc me, I read this list.)
The chief problem was the major change in permissions and the manifest with
Chrome 24. It may not be complex to fix, but I don't use Chrome personally
for philosophical reasons, and it became more of a headache to maintain
especially since I never used it (and I have a somewhat solid rule not to
maintain software packages I don't use myself).
Realistically it should be rewritten anyway. There are now apparently ways
to get a raw TCP socket in Chrome with appropriate permissions, and that
would be much better than the hacky proxy forwarding method it uses now.
