The JS backend had no active maintainer in a long time, so it wouldn't 
have matured. There just was no development on it.

If you are interesting in taking over maintainership, please show up in 
the #pypy channel on freenode and get someone to give you commit 
privileges. Then we should probably discuss in which form it should be 
resurrected.
