As others have said, you need a maintainer for a target. I don't know what the
story is for the two platforms you mentioned. Maintaining an older not so
technically demanding platform is not all that hard. I took on the pdp11
target some years ago because I wanted to make sure it stayed alive, and it
still is. For that matter, I recently did the CC0 conversion for it. It's not
that big a job, and probably easier for the m68k.
