I think most open-source projects keep their release / stable branches
around, even for "outdated" versions. Additionally we'd have to create
tags *now* for changes that happened years ago. I wouldn't particularly
like doing that...

Maybe; on the other hand, some of the branches I mentioned in my
original email give the impression that the transitions to Python 3 and
Guile 2 are still being worked on. Moreover, I firmly believe that we
should try to not "forget" mergeable work in branches, and we waste
time in every pass over branches that were deemed not important anymore
now / in the past.
