A rewrite is probably reasonable.
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Designing_new_Reports
demonstrates the code can be clear.

The lack of responses to the report queries probably more due to:
* unintelligible legacy code
* absent or wrong documentation
* overwhelming task to address these issues (ie rewrite easier than
maintenance)

> I see a lot of websites that use two combo boxes for this, the first with
1-31 for the day of the month and the other with the 12 months. Does that
seem reasonable for GnuCash?

That's probably the most efficient, two clicks to select month assuming day
is one. Alternatively, calendar month avoids d/m/y order - default to 1 Jan
using '<>' to select month and/or click day, disable or ignore year.
