If no one else volunteers, I'll take maintainership of:

xbiff xcalc xclock xconsole xload xman and xmessage

There are still users who use those on a daily basis and it would be a 
shame to drop them completely.

I'd also like to see xedit stay around, but I don't like its (lack of) 
ergonomy nor its embedded lisp interpreter -- we have [X]Emacs for that.
