No package is ever unmaintained.  They are either maintained by someone who
cares deeply for the package, or they are maintained by QA.

Also, the more packages maintained by QA, the thinner those people are spread.
Plus, keeping packages around that are poorly maintained is a burden on the
security team.

Debian is not an attic.
