libvirt-cim has it's own mailing list (libvirt-cim(a)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.

Daniel
