I don't see "maintained" as a significant part of the decision.  To me
the question should rather be whether it's still working, and whether
the code is still useful (either as a basis for other code, or for
end-users).

I've added to GNU ELPA some packages specifically because they were
unmaintained but still in use (psgml and filladapt come to mind).
