Yes, but there isn't a one-month time-limit on merging these
changes upstream.

Sorry, I was unclear.  I was talking about 1.5 months from now:
there will be perhaps 4 people remaining, all well-versed in git

"owned", but mostly it'll just be a free-for-all.  But at a much
slower rate than currently.
