I think we're conflating two things here. The fact that we haven't
maintained it is no evidence that it isn't important and so no reason to
stop trying.
If we have volunteers, we should continue to maintain it. Clearly whoever
didn't do it before is not the right person(s) to continue, but again, no
evidence that new people wouldn't change that situation. If there is nobody
to maintain it, then clearly we should stop.
If there is evidence or some feeling that it isn't worthwhile maintaining
it, that is a different issue and one worth discussing.
Where do we list our existence? Which places should we do so, or continue
to do so? My feeling is that external listings are quite important overall,
though I accept that Sourceforge does have to prove itself as a place
worthy of attention against other possibilities.
