No, nobody has to do that.
You've got limited time to work on cc-mode, and more issues than you can
solve. If you choose to spend some of that time supporting old Emacs
versions (and XEmacs by now is a very old Emacs version), then that is
reducing the amount of time you can spend on eg improving C++11 support
(to pick a non-random example). IMO this is a clear loss, so I hope you
will reconsider your position on that.
I imagine Stefan is one of the few people capable of
modernizing/simplifying/standardizing cc-mode, so FWIW I strongly
encourage you to accept the offer.
