TBH, there might be no Gitk maintenance at all, because the last commit in either repository dates February 2016. It's a bit hard to believe there was not a single contribution in 10 months.

Like:
  Hey hey Paul!
  Come and get the goal!
  Fetch the patch and get applied
  to our all's delight!
or like
  Macke- Macke- Mackerras!
  Come here and join with us!
  It's just a simple 'git am'
  and you are the man!
Another encouraging poem?
