A first step might be to check whether these application still compile and run with current Lisps and, if not, investigate how to fix them. In some cases, the problem may be as simple as an outdated package definition or reference. A further improvement may be making the software ASDF-INSTALLable. Then it would be useful to find new maintainers (after checking with the original authors, of course) and new sites to host the projects (perhaps the lispnik.com or common-lisp.net infrastructure may help).
