Well, it's not really a “well maintained” problem, it's more like a synchronization problem.

To be honest, I still secretly hope relevant maintainers would give some help integrating new themes into the desktop-base package, and in some cases the artwork is already provided. All in all, I still think it'd be best to have plymouth theme inside desktop-base package, but if everything's already ready on your side, then go ahead (though I'll need to add a dependency from desktop-base to the plymouth theme).
