For what it is worth, the tsv working group is considering whether to process mp-dccp on the standards track, but then the IETF seems not to care too deeply about open-source licence compliance. Or recent kernel implementations or implementations that have a realistic path towards mainline inclusion... but I digress.

How to find a kernel maintainer to care about DCCP, seems to be the question for Linux.
I am tempted... Not to get involved with IETF "barriers" (what a mess, given the folks in IETF who resisted in AQM, I wouldn't last a minute), but to keep DCCP support alive.
The barrier here is getting accepted as a Linux maintainer, which is a different issue entirely, looking at my last two experiences with submitting simple bug fixes to the kernel, which were nightmares. I don't have the commitment to become accepted as a maintainer.
But it seems good to maintain DCCP, despite its lack of popularity as an IETF standard. It does deal with CC in a way that simplifies use of UDP for serious work.

Interesting that there is an out of tree DCCP, complete with likely GPL license violation.
