As far as I know, there was no real coordination on those patches
before, neither I saw any real steps from any side to get it up.

That said, anyone can come up with an initiative to maintain those
branches under some 3party roof (just push -eol tag into github and
advertise), and if there is real (and not just anticipated)
collaboration going on around it, then the project may reconsider
getting it back in the big stadium.

I am tired to say that again and again, but there should be some
resource investment from interested parties, upfront, before infra
takes part of the burden on their shoulders. Asking won't help.
