They are both defunct.

Starting from those branches? No. The state-of-the-art has moved on,
and we've gotten wiser about how we maintain open projects. Search,
for example, has a couple of third-party apps out there; working on
any of 'em would make a good proposal. Full history isn't actually all
that much work; look for Marty's AuditTrail (on the wiki) and you can
see he's 80% of the way there in a few hundred LOC. Still, the last
20% is enough work that a project making AuditTrail into a bonafide
extension might be good.
