I apologise, "unmaintained" is too strong a word. I mean "lacking an owner sufficiently confident in their authority and expertise and with sufficient time and energy to add,or approve the addition of, substantial new features which may require significant refactoring of internal details".
Perhaps "unowned" would be a better word? Saying yes or no to major feature requests isn't the same as fixing errors in existing features.
