As the original author of ical2org.awk, I should say that I do use the
functionality within gnus for importing calendar invites that I receive,
esp. from colleagues, into org.  I use the awk script to batch import
calendar entries from e.g. Google or Office365 calendars.  I'm not sure
if the code you pointed to has the functionality to batch import
although I guess it would be quite trivial to write some code around it.

I'm happy for ical2org.awk to be removed from Worg although I will
obviously continue using my own version as it's part of my somewhat
complex workflow that's evolved over the past decade.
