--- Comment #2 from Andre Klapper <[email protected]> ---
I'm waiting for http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics to provide
enough statistics on development activity. 
Without good data it's hard to judge and back up decisions...

Next steps here could be to 
1) agree when an extension is considered unmaintained (which rather sounds 
   like a mailing list topic
2) whether this means that some actions should take place, and
3) what these actions would look like (as proposed here, for example actively
   trying to find new maintainers, judging whether continued maintenance is 
   wanted (e.g. does not make sense if code has been superseded anyway), 
   closing a Bugzilla component for new bug entry, tag and close remaining 
   open tickets, etc).

I'm not sure if this is stuff to discuss in this bug report, should really be a
broader debate in the community, and information on maintenance status should
also be properly reflected and announced on the affected extension homepages.
