It is wonderful to hear that a piece of software that has long been abandonware now has someone who 'cares' much more than anyone who has touched the 'git.git' tree in years. I would rather remove unmaintained pieces of software from the 'contrib/' directory, and optionally replace them with a pointer to the location of a maintained fork. So, no, I would not want to be a gatekeeper for that part of the 'contrib/' directory when I do not have a particular need, interest, or the expertise to properly maintain it, if I can avoid it.
