How important is keeping them alive?  I can volunteer to "maintain"
them which I anticipate won't be much effort (plus I'm used to looking
after obsolete SCSI equipment).  The hardware is obsolete, so the
mechanics of their emulation isn't going to change, the only potential
risk is changes in the guest to host transmission layer that breaks
something.  On the other hand, I've got to say I use virtio-scsi in all
my VM testing environments, so the maintenance will likely only be
reacting when someone else reports a problem.
