The WAR to WAB url handler is pretty useless in the absence of a web application extender which can serve the content. That is why, in my view, it has remained in contrib, not because of lack of interest. Until we have a view on how/where we get a web application extender from I do not think there is a need to create the WAR to WAB url handler. At that time I would expect to want to ensure that the code is reused between the BundleConverter and the WAR to WAB converter.
