So, on a broader scope (and big thanks to Greg Boggs for the digging on this), there's a core issue for this exact scenario this module is accommodating for: ✨ [META] Expose Title and other base fields in Manage Display Active
The work in this issue is being placed into a contrib module ( https://www.drupal.org/project/manage_display → ) which is expected/planned to be rolled into core.
I'm very hesitant to have multiple modules accomplishing the same thing: we run into the same problem that you see in WordPress, which becomes siloed fiefdoms that would be better left collaborated.
I'm marking this as Active pending work on ✨ [META] Expose Title and other base fields in Manage Display Active .
This module and the Title module → have the exact same features. Title has 50k installs, a better project name, and it needs a maintainer. Can we merge the two projects?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Why move to Manage Display if Manage Display is going into core? Why not stay on this module till Manage Display moves into core and then move to what core is doing.
I agree this module duplicates effort but moving isn't an insignificant amount of work.
