IMHO its a great opportunity for tech companies that still use legacy versions to come out and contribute specifically to these old versions, maybe with urgent security patches or specific backports. Try talking to them if they can engage here or sponsor known contributors to make such maintenance work on their behalf - optimally in such a way that the contributions are open source again.
