Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Movable Type Backup Importer version 1.1.2 as active, updated 14y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.2.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin allows you to import Movable Type backups instead of exports. It reads the Meta information from the Movable Type XML file and creates the correct objects and relations in your WordPress Blog.
You can import the following contents from your Movable Type blog:
Posts
Tags
Categories
Users
Files
Images
Comments
Some additional goodies:
Support for Multisite setups
Associations between Posts, Tags, Categories & Media
Updated internal URLs in your posts (Images, Links)
Users added as authors to blog instance
Images will be added to the media library (with thumbnails)
Support chunked backups for importing large sites
Known Limitations
It’s possible to get an Out-of-Memory Exception while importing, if your XML backup is too large to be processed in memory. Try using chunked backups from Movable Type (e.g. 2MB) instead.
Roadmap
Try to use information from newly created image library entries, to generate new clean img tags with correct sizing, etc.
