This bug report is lacking crucial information to handle it properly, 
like what's the expected outcome etc.
As you are known as a seasoned developer we felt you didn't need the

QtScript was never forked. It even was included as git submodule at some 
point. Unaltered.

You're remembering incorrectly.
There was never such a port.

The QML parser was never forked. It always has been a copy of the QML 
parser, because we didn't want a dependency to the QtQml module.
