how many users is too few

Hi all,

I've got a package (gtkgo) that has been discontinued upstream.  So far I've 
been ignoring this and continuing to apply fixes, etc. But I'm beginning to 
wonder if I should ITA it since maintained packages are starting to 
incorporate its functionality.

I had a look on popularity contest and that said it had 7 recent users.  Does 
that sound like enough to justify its continued presence? I know it is said a 
package will continue in Debian until nobody wants to maintain it, but I 
don't want to waste people's disk space/bandwidth on something with only half 
a dozen users? Or is half a dozen ok, and I shouldn't do anything until it 
gets down to one or two users?

I've stopped using it myself, but it is extremely easy to maintain so I don't 
really mind maintaining it.
