I haven't found active upstream development since around 1999; I have
local patches and I took maintainership. This is what happened in other
BSDs.

I got some old patches and I will try to upstream them after removing
K&R code. This will also help to address some local bugs that affect my
shell usage.

The domain for multiplatform legacy Unices is covered by MKSH (developed
against gcc1, gcc2). So no need to compete with them for this niche.
