Here is a change that helped me update Catalina to 10.15.7. The patch does not replace boot-args NVRAM variable. It will append to it or create it if necessary.

The newly added items are per user workspace settings or build products which should not be source controlled
When adding -no_compat_check to boot-args, do not replace other flags in boot-args that the user may be depending on. For example, a MacPro3,1 with 64 GB of RAM requires maxmem=63488 so that the installer does not take forever. Other flags, such as -v, may be useful for debugging.
This code is analogous to the code that adds -no_compat_check to com.apple.Boot.plist

Should probably not call NSTask and instead use IORegistryEntry for getting boot args

Since there have been no updates for two years and no comments from dosdude1, I have the impression, that the Catalina Patcher is now completely unmaintained.

Are there still going to be fixes for Catalina Patcher by anyone involved in the project?

I appreciate the recent fixes @dosdude1. Catalina is the only recent macOS version that runs reliably on my 2010 MacBook Pro.
