r128, savage, and sis are all very, very old now. Like, 20 years or more... I wonder if it makes sense to keep them, given that none of those three natively cross-compile, and are starting to require patches to build against a recent X stack. The latter meaning that upstream is not even test-building those drivers anymore...

Up until now and even including the current bump to xserver_xorg-server 1.20.0 I am still willing to support even the oldest drivers if I can find the necessary patches somewhere so from my POV it is ok to keep them. If Thomas or Peter think otherwise I can remove them since I have no personal interest in them ;)
As long as you care enough about them to keep them working (and the patches aren't super big/ugly), then I am fine with keeping them.
I'm also fine with keeping them if someone is actually caring for them. But as I sais, maintaining them just for the sake of maintenance, without actual use, is probably going too far.
But OK, if that is an exercise in style. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
