why does the low frequency of release of this software justify its
removal from Debian ?

Because at the time it was removed it was deemed dead upstream, there were no releases for several years.

There was no sign that upstream was working on a release with PROJ6 support among others.

I'm not willing to maintain packages that are dead upstream and who block progress in the lower parts of the stack (like PROJ & GDAL).

If your needs are not met by JOSM and you really want the merkaartor package back in Debian you should consider becoming the maintainer of it.

Kind Regards,

Bas
