I have not had time for this. It is not trivial. However, last month github user dharmendra-nutanix shared [0] that they are working on an implementation with pax. I expect that would also be acceptable, although I am not sure how widely available the necessary unpacking tools will be.

A while back I did start to look at the series, but then saw lots of extra changes. I really need to take a good sized block of time to carefully go through it. This is currently #3 on my personal minicoredumper TODO list: #1 is fixing the mainline Linux regression. [1] #2 is implementing a systemd service file for Debian. [2] #3 is integrating your work to add support for the PAX format.
