Roy doesn't have a production credit, but I have no reason to disbelieve that the film is retained by Disney. We can hope they'll re-up with KLSC and include this one.
I think it depends on quality of available elements. Disney have actually shown themselves to be decent archivers of most material when it comes to animation [they have preserved most if not all of their SE negatives of animation titles], but their record on live action material is not clear...

Moreso, the point being made is thank heavens for third party houses like Shout, Arrow and Kino for licencing these titles when the studios themselves don't want to release them.
I believe the joint venture is designed to consolidate distribution of physical media more than anything else. We are currently witnessing a ramping down of physical media, if you will, and while extermination is possible, whether it happens will depend on how many of us are still willing to buy...
Flash Gordon is a cult classic and has a built in audience who would be more than willing to double and triple dip for upgrades. Can't say that for most catalogue titles.
