Well, as Heiko mentioned he intended to work on that. And I guess using an
existing library which more or less works so far seems to be less work than
writing it from scratch.

Right. However if someone is willing to put work into the problem that means a
library wouldn't "unmaintained" anymore.
(Just to be clear: I'm not trying to push a certain direction and I trust you
follow the way which makes most sense/is most fun to you. Just being curious
why an integrated solution is preferred by Heiko.)

Personally I prefer to keep my exim.conf as small as possible. There is enough
complexity already (also partly because I failed extract common conditions
into variables) so adding a lot of exim conditions/"code" there is not very
attractive. At the same time I like an "integrated" approach and the
directives added with the srs_alt option lool nice to me.

However it's a great testament again that Exim is so flexible that you can
implement (a simple version of) SRS without external code...
