While the "autoconfiscate" name is very clever and cute, the de-facto standard name for this kind of script is "autogen", and deviating from it means having to special-case the libvirt-cim project when, for example, setting up a CI environment.

libvirt-cim has it's own mailing list (libvirt-cim@redhat.com) and achives: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-cim/index.html.
The last email there (april 2015) and last patch (aug 2014) - I venture to say perhaps the "doesn't anyone really care" starts to factor in. Then of course, is there a way (need/desire) to kill it completely?
IBM was the only company that ever cared about CIM for virtualization. Everyone else wanted an API that was easy to use instead ;-P Even IBM has lost interest now, so it is mostly a historical curiosity at this point. I wouldn't delete it, but also wouldn't spend alot of time in it. If someone does have a desire to update the code in any way, go at it and we can review it in the normal manner - no point waiting for the original maintainers to review IMHO.
