I'm not aware of anyone working on it at this moment.  I agree in the
longer term we can't have different parts of GNOME depend on two
different JavaScript engines.  Certainly we aren't going to be able to
do anything in the 2.28 timeframe, but GNOME Shell is still a
technology preview for that.  Bottom line I suggest the relevant
maintainers should agree to pick one engine by the 2.30 timeframe.
