Tephra and Omid are interesting in that they serve a similar function - a transaction oracle - but scale differently per different choices in design, so one is more appropriate for some kinds of transactional workloads vs the other. It's akin to secondary indexing, there is not an index type that fits all use cases. If you are going to consider one, you should consider both. That said my guess is you will find eventually one is the 'winner' per second order measures like contributions or user issues. This should be fine. As separate repositories they can move at their own speed and only consume bandwidth as usage and uptake actually demands.
For what it's worth I'd vote as PMC +0 on accepting these code bases. '+' because Phoenix transactional indexes are a promising feature, and could be compelling, and they need one of these transaction oracles. '0' because it would be unfair to commit someone else's time. I'm not around here much... but may be around more going forward.
