Regarding eshell, I never assumed its maintenance; rather, I'd added
myself to the second section of admin/MAINTAINERS, indicating that I'd
be willing to try maintaining it if no one else does.  But it appears
that things changed recently, with Jim stepping up to maintain it per
046b5eb90d2a (thanks Jim!).

Regarding ERC, lisp/erc/erc.el is the current and correct one:
F. Jason Park (J.P.) and I are its co-maintainers.  As far as I can
tell, neither Kelvin White nor Vibhav Pant have made any commits to
lisp/erc/ in years.

Thanks,
