The OBS is part of the openSuSE structure, maintained by openSuSE.org, provided as a SERVICE and is a form of distribution, used (if we are to believe anything we read in these mail lists) to create the last distribution and presumably the upcoming release(s) and probably many of the included applications and other programs and libraries used by openSuSE and the versions of DE's like KDE and others.
No, far from everything in there is in any way officially maintained by SUSE. Any member of the openSUSE community can maintain packages in the build service
Then CLEARLY define OFFICIAL and NON-official sections of the OBS as such. If someone 'fixes' something that is used as part of an OFFICIAL package, such as KDE, then if KDE is going to be part of an OFFICIAL release, it should be MAINTAINED as part of the release until EOL in the official distribution channels (whatever that is) and not allow devs or anyone else make changes to the official portion of the OBS until the 'fix' or patch or enhancement is tested and found suitable for inclusion in the OFFICIAL distribution. Stuff in the UNofficial portion of the OBS certainly can't be openSuSE's responsibility unless it is part of the OFFICIAL release (in which case, it is misplaced in the OBS).
Officially maintained is only the distribution itself and the update channel. Nothing under /repositories/ is "officialy" maintained nor endorsed for less experienced users.
