Original author here. Thanks for the kind words!

We would love open source some of the work we did - there are a few edge cases to still work out with deprecated_column and renamed_to before I’d be comfortable doing that, but definitely agree that may be generally useful.

If it's just edge cases, you can just open source it and document the edge cases. The community will likely fork and help with those edge cases.
I would love to see the code open sourced! (it's ok if you have edge cases pending as long as they have been documented or at least mentioned in a README). Managing and running migrations smoothly without downtime is a very common challenge that a lot of startups face and I think a lot of us have been reinventing the wheel over and over to handle this due to the lack of current offerings.
