Petunia wasn't entirely forgotten, she still gets art occasionally. Last picture was on January 24th and two fics about her are circling around too, one is just on writeoff.me, the other one on FIMFiction.net, though, and even made it into the Feature box.
But she doesn't get art very often and those fics is the only one for her so far, sadly.
That's the fate of a lot, if not to say all, the background ponies of nowadays..... The fandom just doesn't pay attention to them anymore and focuses more on the Mane Six and the "Pony of the Season" these days, which was Starlight Glimmer in Season 5 and is now with Season 6 Flurry Heart.
Which is a concern, because it really makes the fandom's art output fell dull and mainstream, when all the creative opportunities with background ponies aren't used anymore.....
I have a little hope that the fandom returns to background ponies lately, because Lily Longsocks gets a lot more attention on FIMFiction.net lately, she got three fics written for her in less than two months! One is even ongoing.
And two of them even got popular and made it into the Feature box as well.
It gives me slight hopes that this fandom remembers its roots again and starts to write as much for background ponies as it used to. I really hope it isn't just a phase.....
