I guess you meant "I think that NetBSD should *not* document an unmaintained
repo as upstream."

I guess you proposal makes some sense.  Personally, I don't care much
either way.

I think we should sync our sources from the upstream version to pick up
the changes that aren't in-tree and continue from there.

With the git export, pulling out changes and submitting them upstream is
not difficult.
