It does not seem there are many core developers able or interested in 
maintaining these packages in core repository.

You might accomplish more if you send a PR where you move the whole 
comgt (and uim package) to the community packages repo and become 
maintainer.
It was done for some other packages in a similar situation, and a few 
core developers have been active on this migration and might be 
interested (Paul Spooren <mail at aparcar.org> and Petr Štetiar 
<ynezz at true.cz> for example)
