That's unfortunate; apologies for the lack of action on these.

I see libtext-xslate-perl was packaged due to an RFP, so presumably
there's at least some need for it.

That said, I think kicking these out of testing for now and going ahead
with the transition would be totally appropriate if you don't want
to do NMUs. Hopefully somebody who cares can then fix them.
