I think it would be ideal if someone wanted to take up wxBitcoin. Maybe after
backporting to wx 2.8...

Indeed, someone could do this if they're interested in it, in their own fork. That's what I said too. But it's no longer our issue.

Please be careful to avoid the centralization mindset. There is no "main
project"; there is bitcoind, wxBitcoin, Bitcoin-Qt, MultiBit,

With the "main project" here I mean the issue list of bitcoin/bitcoin project on github, which only deals with that project (and not that of the forks, which have their own issue lists). You can argue the "main"-ness but it's just a mailing list message and not some official document deciding about the future of bitcoin, so I did not feel like specifying it to that level of detail.
