I can't answer this one but...

...looking at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Downstreams, I'd say that
realistically speaking, 2.8 will become completely unmaintained one year
from now, once Ubuntu 16.04 LTS support ends.
But even today support is pretty limited, seeing how the last release
was nearly two years ago.

If you want to volunteer to backport security fixes that are yet to be
backported even beyond the aforementioned date, then you're welcome to.
