Here are several packages candidate for removal:

Agreed, and there are surely other unmaintained packages that lack
sufficient
need or interest to stay and should be dropped as well.
Furthermore, what is the procedure for dropping a package? The wicd
package is
broken and has unpatched security vulnerabilities[1]. It was
previously asked
on this list if it should be dropped, nobody objected, a bug was
filed asking
to drop it an assigned to sysadmin-b...@ml.mageia.org [2], but it
hasn't been
dropped as far as I know.

Some other candidates for removal that come to mind:
abrt/libreport/btparser - tool for sending bug reports to RedHat,
does not seem
to belong in Mageia, our drakxtools have their own tool for sending
crash
reports to our bugzilla, unpatched security issues.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6523
sos - another RedHat-specific thing, unpatched security issues.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6525
libgnomesu - really old and unmaintained upstream, unpatched security
issues,
probably not needed.

I'm sure there are plenty of other good candidates.
Some months ago, we were speaking of removing all unmainted packages, I
guess this out of brain nowadays ?
