A couple of months ago I was asked to push code change for Samogotian. (At the time I hadn't have regulated my membership on this mailing list, then I forgot it.)
But Samogotian is not the only code to be fixed. Basically, we should make the decision and suggest to the Board/staff/Phabricator to proceed with that. I see that None of the cases I am suggesting is in any way problematic, as well as those names are already implemented into the interwiki codes.
bat-smg => sgs be-x-old => be-tarask fiu-vro => vro roa-rup => rup zh-classical => lzh zh-min-nan => nan zh-yue => yue
I don't know if you already did or not this, but I think it's time to push it.
In relation to the old codes, I think they should stay as "permanent redirects" as long as there is a traffic to them. They won't be used in any other case, so we don't need to hurry in relation to their removal.
Work has already begun to rename these wikis. Wearing my WMF staff hat as a community liaison and in User:Krenair's role as a developer, we are slowly planning to make our way through the list [0]. Be-x-old was already renamed to be-tarask as our first test [1], then we moved Wikimedia Eesti's wiki from et.wikimedia.org to ee.wikimedia.org (following the chapter wiki convention of country codes instead of language code). [2] Vöro is up next to be renamed after I got confirmation from the community that the request still stands last month [3], so that will be done soon. We are taking our time to make sure that each move does not expose new bugs and making sure that local consensus still stands for the requests as most are very old .
The old domain names are redirecting, as you suggest.
