Does anyone object to moving to my new wallet?
I am glad you have been working on a wallet upgrade. I'm sure in time we will be ready to abandon the 0.8 branch code we inherited from His Holy Noodliness. Right now, I can't endorse your repository for production use, sorry.
If you want to work together on a repository based on v0.13.0, then I'll set things up for us to start building it.
