It's a release that's considered dead by its own maintainers.
No. By its own developers. The maintainers are not necessarily the developers.
Whom you call the "KDE3 developers"? Again the KDE4 team? They are not the KDE3 developers.
OK, we should carefuly differ between the situation we have now and we had when KDE3 was dropped. Back then we have a KDE team that didn't want to spend time in maintaining two sets of KDE and rather concentrate on KDE4 and noone else wanted to maintain it. Now, 3 openSUSE releases later, the situation is different. We have an upstream project and openSUSE packagers that are willing to maintain these sources. So I see no problem reviving the packages. Of course they require major cleanup and whoever wants them in factory should really give them some love - so far most of them are the same old 11.1 packages with minimal patching. For one: I want to see unsermake gone in factory.
