You two might collaborate with each other to the extent of reviewing 
some of each other's PRs.  That still leaves the issue of merging.

Since adhoc is not working to get merges, I had this same suggestion. 
Michael and Erik, I presume you have gotten some guidelines on what 
modifications to C code might be accepted, and what concerns people have.

I think for tests, a separate test_aix.py might be a good idea for 
aix-only tests, while modification of other tests might be limited to 
adding skips.  The idea would be to make it easy to remove aix stuff in 
the future if it again became unsupported.  Ditto for other specialized 
platforms.
