I don't think the Sourceforge search has ever been very useful. Try
Gmane, Nabble, or The Mail Archive instead:

It is correct: the 3D capabilities have been removed from the latest
versions.

The reason is that extensive changes were made to the way Matplotlib
works internally, and no-one has been sufficiently interested in the 3D
plotting code to keep it up to date.

Of course the old version of Matplotlib still works, it just doesn't
have all the latest features. Also, very recently some people have
started to work on the 3D code:

If you want to be able to make 3D plots with Matplotlib, perhaps you
could find a way to help with this effort.
