GitHub makes it fairly obvious even in text based browsers, for eg:

It appears Samsung is using them in Tizen and Collabora has some
interest in them, presumably for some of their customers and the commit
logs and bug reports show a few other companies. I expect that the
projects are mostly considered "good enough" infrastructure that they
don't have enough motivation to assign much work time to them.

Of course, all of the work needed can be done by anyone volunteering in
their spare time or work time when no higher priority work needs doing,
but allocating funding towards these projects would make it easier for
this work to be prioritised.

Seems like luck will be needed indeed.
