Backdrop port of Automatic Entity Label

I needed this module for a Backdrop site I'm working on and so ported it to Backdrop: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/auto_entitylabel I made the necessary changes to get it working in Backdrop (but it still needs thorough testing) and tried to make some improvements too.

I'm wondering if the current maintainer of this module would also like to maintain the Backdrop version. Let me know if so and I can provide information on how to apply for access to the Backdrop Contrib repository (in case you don't already have access).
