Personally, I'm not too keen on the term "unclaimed". If I upload, own and manage a project but don't want to bother with the hassle of generating and managing signing keys, I don't think that means my project should be described by the (frankly, somewhat detrimental) term "unclaimed". "Unsigned" is accurate and specific - "unclaimed" sounds like I don't care about my project.
