Zack (IIRC) brought up Filfre and Frotz as well, last night. It looks at a glance like Frotz is actively maintained (by David Kinder et al), but Z-code only — would that fit our pattern?

Filfre looks like it hasn’t had a release in five years, and it’s unclear whether Jimmy Maher (or anyone else) is still maintaining its code.
