Xorg is by no means abandoned.
Where did you get that idea from?

Patches and security advisor bulletins are constantly issued.

The latest one was last week:

=============================================
X.Org Security Advisory: December 13, 2023

Issues in X.Org X server prior to 21.1.10 and Xwayland prior to
23.2.3
=============================================

Multiple issues have been found in the X server and Xwayland
implementations published by X.Org for which we are releasing
security fixes for in xorg-server-21.1.10 and xwayland-23.2.3.

1) CVE-2023-6377 can be triggered by forcing a logical device change
on a device with buttons which will result in an out-of-bounds memory
write.

2) CVE-2023-6478 can be triggered by sending a specially crafted
request RRChangeProviderProperty or RRChangeOutputProperty. This will
trigger an integer overflow and lead to disclosure of information.
