That wiki page is old and not up-to-date. A lot of issues mentionned in it

I clean up the page.
Now almost all packages listed on there are still in [extra] or
[core]. I think we can add some more packages to the list and begin
working on it.

I still say forget that list. It has 2 major problems.
1. The suggestions to move a package in community when we don't even know
if a TU is willing top adopt it are bad. The community repo doesn't
need more orphaned packages.
2. If a dev is willing to maintain a package in extra, why should we force
him to move his package to community/unsupported? For example, we
are not moving the games to community. This was all discussed before.
If you want to work on a repo cleanup, ask for sysop privileges for
the wiki and update the orphaned packages list:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Repo_Cleanup
You can add a section for the old broken apps (kde3 apps that no longer
build, achessclock could go there too, perhaps the old games).
