There should be a new skill but not in 2021 and 2022, and it won't be Sailing as the writing has been on the wall for more than 8 years when they released the POH:
The Revelation is there: Jmods have told us way back in 2012 to ditch our whip and don't be a nubber, and it wouldn't be easy to make Sailing a new skill.
"Aboard this ship, our tale begins
So listen up, land lubber!
And don’t be such a nubber.
Ha ha! What did he eat last night?
I’m feeling rather queasy."
So listen up, land lubber!
Our tale is short, so put down your whip,
And don’t be such a nubber.
He thought that sailing was a new skill
But no it’s not that easy!

At this point I would rather see them simply update existing skills. So many are dragging years behind in their viability and leveling: why do I need 90 Fletching and Woodcutting to make a level 65 shortbow?
Why do I need to get level 40+ Crafting for a basic level 20 ranged armor or level 93 for a level 65 armor?
Why does Crafting handle the few magic weapons we can make and not RuneCrafting?

For better or worse, the Mining and Smithing update shows what they need to do for most, if not all gathering and processing skills, and I've always liked to use Daemonheim as a great example of how the surface game should operate.
While it has had its fair share of controversy, the economies in Dungeoneering are a miniature version of the rest of the game:
Hunter should feed into Ranged armor in Crafting with bits of Fletching, Woodcutting, Smithing for weaponry.
Farming should feed into Magic armor in Crafting (or even toss it into RC too, I dunno!) with bits of Woodcutting, Fletching, RuneCrafting for weaponry.
Properly tiered, basic stuff.
Then we can look at reorganizing the horrible armor classification system and bring actual use to stuff outside of Power armor while making shields not just glorified swaps. (Hello damage reduction? You there? DPS race here, I need a break.)
THEN we can look at adding some new skills, IMO.
Archaeology is... A variably decent skill. It has its uses but they definitely outdid themselves in bringing a large chunk of lore into the game despite having this massive quest drought from over the years...
I'd prefer they lean back into the XP curve for elite skills though. The classic 13m/104m 99/120 curve is way too brutal to properly scale modern playstyles to.
I agree with this. It has been mentioned a lot before and I agree that we should look at fixing some of our existing content that is now showing its age and has faded in its relevance and utility.
