Hi Fabian, I completely agree with you, though I would like to propose that we send the leads of the abandoned plugins a message before we toss them in the bin. Plus we need to come up with timeframes that we consider inactivity. For example I recently published a first minor release of a plugin but haven't had the time to work on it since. Would this one for example be considered inactive with no users: symfony-project.org/ plugins/rsfResponseValidatorPlugin ?
Kudos for the effort to clean it up, I think that having a more "stable" plugin area can only benefit the community.
