Not just not shutting them down but actively maintaining them, which
would require more work than maintaining the non-EOL branches.
I fail to see what the big job is here, but whatever.
I'm sorry but, until there's a community committed to
actually doing
the work,
Backporting fixes, handling bug reports, ... Note that here you _can't_
rely on upstream, they generally aren't interested in ancient versions, so
this is /much/ more work than regular maintainership.
asking that infrastructure be created/adapted/maintained is
an
unreasonable request, IMHO.
