In my opinion once a page exists it needs to exist forever.
Imagine Okular goes unmaintained, I don't want the lots of pages pointing
to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://apps.kde.org/okular/">https://apps.kde.org/okular/</a> to suddenly point to a 404

</blockquote>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
Continuing to have pages for unmaintained applications sounds okay, subject
to appstream metadata being available (not a given as we source them from
CI artifacts right now).
We probably wouldn't want to list unmaintained applications on say the
front page of apps.kde.org or the category lists though?

</blockquote>
<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
Clearly not on the front page, probably not on category lists though (Maybe
having their own "unmaintained category" in case people want to adopt them?)
