I don't think we need to revive ^L once it is removed.

The steering council decided there is no real "code owner".
Codes are owned by everyone.

On the other hand, ^L is very minor control character nowadays.
Many new people use many new editors.  I don't believe every common
editors support ^L well.
And even though editor supports it, people may be confused by it.

If only few core developer likes ^L, why we need to add it even though
it is removed by accident?  What makes ^L more important than TAB?
