Collectd needs to be updated

Hello development folks,

by coincidence, I stumbled across Collectd today.

Currently, we ship version 4.10.9 of it, released 2013-04-08. The latest release, however, is 5.12.0 (2020-09-03, as displayed in https://collectd.org/files/), while https://collectd.org/news.shtml still mentions 5.8.0 (2017-11-21) as the latest one.

Either way, we are lacking updates here. :-)

Does anyone have some spare time for Collectd left, and is willing to work on this?

Thanks in advance, and best regards, Peter Müller
