Servo was never meant to be a full engine replacement for mainline Firefox; whatever Rust code could be implemented/useful for Firefox was ported already.

However, regarding Servo specifically, there are contributions on their GitHub[1] and the stewardship of the project is now under the Linux Foundation[2].

I don't think that's a fair summary of the history. There were multiple points of view on this inside Mozilla, and some (including myself) definitely hoped it would be a full engine replacement.
