In my opinion, these should be treated basically like unmaintained extensions, i.e. issue a call for maintainership. It seems to be appropriate to explicitly CC the listed maintainers, though. However, I would prefer to issue the calls for maintainership one by one, or more likely in small chunks, to avoid excessive flooding of the mailing list. It also might be sensible to wait until 7.3 feature freeze, or at least until the traffic on internals@ abates. -- Christoph M. Becker
