I would really appreciate this as well -- the workflow stuff was AFAIK originally supposed to be part of Flow, so from the perspective of someone not intimately familiar with the current ongoings of the project it's all a bit confusing to say it's being moved to maintenance mode but the team will be working on workflows instead of on Flow...
A good user communication system to replace classic talk-page-style hacks is probably the single most important technical project the WMF can be working on -- it touches literally everything else.

Would it be possible to request a lightning talk about the reasoning behind the decision to put Flow into maintenance mode, and about the plans for the Collaboration team's work post-Flow?

Hello!
September's Lightning Talks are in two weeks and we are looking for more volunteers to present. Lightning Talks are an opportunity for teams @
WMF &
in the Community to showcase a Quarterly Goal achieved, significant milestone, release, or anything of significance to the rest of the foundation and the movement as a whole. These talks will be open to our communities.
Each presentation will be 10 minutes or less, the formal part should be
not
be longer than 5 minutes and the remainder can be used for questions. We need at least three people to sign-up to be speakers on the wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks by September 15 or else the talks will be postponed to the next month.
Too many questions to answer in the allotted time? No worries, your lightning talk will be a great candidate for a future Tech Talk.
Third Round of Lightning Talks:
When: Tuesday September 22, 1800 UTC <
