It says

  Shelve (the interactive shelving extension) is almost entirely a
  subset of attic. In fact attic's hg shelve --interactive is calling 3
  methods directly pulled from the hgshelve extension source code.

I have not looked at the code for either extension, but would it not be
a good idea to combine then? I mean, take any left-over features from
shelve and put them in attic and call this shelve?

That would less code to maintain and less confusion for the users.
