We have been in touch with Gibbed on the interwebs and he has set up a GitHub with his code that the programmers here are working on forking officially. I have not seen anything posted about the status lately.
The crew changer relied on Password42 work with a giant batch file that extracted the Hogg and used a diff system to write changes back to the extracted files and then rebuilt the Hogg. That needed to be updated by hand every update. It was difficult to do and no one has taken up the challenge recently.

That is part of the problem, the other part is not being able to extract the Hogg file used for crew changes. Attempting its extraction leads to a buffer underrun error and crashes out. I have mostly given up after months of messing with the code in an attempt to extract the file.
The Diff system is the easier part and actually being used in the current version of the mod to make it more robust against changes that would usually have required a manual fix. Most common issues like missing body parts or even missing new clothing after an update can be selfixed by just reinstalling the mod due to the flexibility of the diff system with unexpected changes. It is nolonger required to keep mod files up to date with every little change and steamlines the prosess of releasing a new version. It even pointsout what files is in a state that does require manual fixing in the process of installing the mod.
It can take a while and there is no progress display during the saving to XML part but once its done that part you will see more text come up as it progresses further steps.
No, it's huge for me too. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out in chat during a Swarm run a couple days ago. Unless all of us in that run just happened to have used the mod! :P
