Porting the desired parts of the old UI forward to 2.x would be a lot easier than porting ongoing 2.x features backward to 1.3. I wouldn't be surprised if you found there were just a couple dialogs you really wanted back. Bring the old communicate window back and embed the sidebar items in stand-alone floaters? You might even be able to get the latter part into Snowglobe if it's minimally invasive and done as a preference option.
If you took the forward porting approach, you'd also be better able to use and contribute patches.
