The original patch [1] starts with these commit metadata:

From e1cb130f550952d9c9c2d9ad1c52e60699a2c968 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Marina Polyakova <m(dot)polyakova(at)postgrespro(dot)ru>
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2018 18:57:25 +0300
Subject: [PATCH] ICU as default collation provider
... commit message...

but as you note, Marina did not intervene in the discussion nor
submitted it herself, so this patch misses someone to play the
role of the author in the CF process.

There were reviews: Andrey Borodin raised issues with the patch in
[2], I spent some time trying it and asked questions about the design
in [3], but no one followed up on them within the next months.

About the status of the patch, to me it should be RWF. It's been
moved to the next CF several times with no progress besides rebases.
