It's the same story for Doom 3 engine / id-tech4. The most active fork I think is still Dhewm3, which includes some modern useful changes for compiling.

And Doom 1/2, which has which probably is the longest list of forks and ports of any software ever: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Source_port#List_of_source_ports

Well, Doom and Quake 1 are kind of in the sweet spot where they are still small enough that one person has some hope of understanding the code base. As impressive as the later IdTech iterations are, and as awesome as it is that the code was released, they are daunting for a hobbyist.
