Dropped ? I hope not it's widely used and still manteined !!! If dropped, is there a valid reason ?
Package has no maintainer.
That is a huge problem. Pity I do not have the knowledge. Unfortunatly what I am seeing is that openSUSE is becoming more and more only focused on KDE/GNOME and all the rest is pushed back, except the Zypper stuff. I agree! Leafdnode -> dropped

Are so many developers gone that software that was maintained in the past does not have a maintainer anymore?
Also: is there a list of things that are being dropped because there is no maintainer?
What about an unmanteined repo ? With packages that build without issue and without known security bugs.. No, I don't have the knowledge :) It could be done by the build server, package marked "unmanteined" -> go to unmanteined repo.
Unfortunately, I think this just isn't feasible, e.g. consider the latest change in rpm which required fixing of huge amount of packages so that their patches apply without fuzz. These changes seem to happen occassionally and after some time, only few packages would manage to remain there. The best way to help is to _get_ the knowledge, and pick up few easy packages. :) It really is not as hard as it seems, once you get the courage.
