As far as I can see, there is no plan to remove these packages (please confirm,
Jeremy). And indeed I'm going to maintain these packages in the future as well:
libsignon-{qt,glib}, signond, libaccounts-{qt,glib}
I'm also willing to maintain other packages mentioned in this bug, such
as online-accounts-api and ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts, but
since these are effectively used only on the phone, I'll be maintaining
them as part of the ubports project and I have no objection on removing
them from the archive.

The Shotwell suggests have been dropped in artful-proposed. Shotwell is
temporarily stuck in -proposed because of an autopkgtest issue
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/781802
Kubuntu still uses signon-ui.
