What about DIP45, or making export an attribute? That would
help the language to go mainstream.
As I said, any DIPs on the wiki which have not already been
accepted are effectively dead, because the wiki is no longer
part of the official DIP process (not that there was much of a
process before, which was part of the problem). Whether any of
the DIPs on the wiki are a good idea or not is irrelevant. Any
DIP that's going to be accepted needs to go through the
current DIP process:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs
No DIPs are going to magically move from the wiki to github.
_Someone_ (be it the original DIP author or someone else) is
going to have to take the time and make the effort to do
everything that's required as part of the current DIP process,
or the DIP will never go anywhere.

Hoping that someone will chime in and answer the original
question. It's likely that only Walter or Andrei can answer it.
Is it a waste of time for me to put effort into renewing this
DIP? Is it dead on arrival or is there a chance it could be
accepted?
If you're talking about DIP45, I think it has a good chance of
being accepted, as Walter had positive feedback after Benjamin's
talk (https://dconf.org/2016/talks/thaut.html around 38:00 on the
video):
Walter (to Benjamin): You and I have argued about that export
thing before and I think you've made pretty compelling case for
it. You know what you're doing, so move forward with it and get
it done.
