To be honest many of the bug-fixes/suggested-improvments listed in this thread are good, popular and much desired. While it may seem like the same-old-same-old they still haven't been implemented & are therefore still valid.
I think this thread would be an excellent resource and starting point for any new owner and it's dev team. While "troll fishing" doesn't do anyone any favors a bit of heated discussion acts as a community mood indicator.
A new owner deserves a chance but the community has been too soft in the past, tolerating a long list of poor patches & broken promises which didn't live up to expected standards. I'm surprised people have kept as calm and quiet for as long as they have, especially the old timers.
While we should give them a chance, they should also be considerate of what many of us have had to put up with over the years. It may not sound fair, but life isn't fair and we're running out of patience.
My main message to any potential buyer would be: If you haven't got the money to follow threw, get lost & save us both the misery.
