A lot of ebuilds probably fall under this category, and we should figure
out how we want to handle all of them. I say mask the GNUStep stuff for a
month or two, put something on staffing-needs saying we need someone to
maintain them, and see what happens. You can put me down as the contact on
the staffing-needs page if you want. I hate to see things that are useful
to our users taken from the tree, but there isn't much we can do when
there is no one to maintain them.
