'twould seem Andrea and David have been collaborating extensively on xmonad (by my count, there ~106 patches in this repo not present in core/xmc). Some of them look interesting, but others deal with internals I'm not very familiar with.

Sounds to me like this should be rectified, consolidated somehow. The reasons for such a fork ought to be considered too... sounds like an oddity to me. Why weren't the original problems that caused the fork addressed in the first place?
