That leaves Andreas as the other uploader, but he has basically
delegated osrm maintenance to you, which leaves osrm without an active
maintainer.
Removing the package from the archive seems sensible with the lack of an
active maintainer and the upstream developers inability to support OSRM
in stable releases.

I don't like forcing users to compile software themselves, but I also
cannot adopt the package to keep it in the archive. I'm maintaining too
many package I don't actually use myself already.
Christopher, will you file to removal bug?
