There are few problems, one which is the implementation language:
git-absorb is Rust and git-fixup is bash (using arrays and other
non-POSIX constructs).

Documentation/howto/new-command.txt declares:

Most subcommands are written in C or shell. A few are written in
Perl.

(And Python scripts are allowed for some specific tasks, namely GUI)

Shell script here quite emphatically means POSIX shell (or at
least not using widely non-POSIX constructs like arrays), not
bash. In order to even be able to consider any of these commands
to be submitted to git proper, it would have to be ported first.

Best,

Matěj
