Well stale applications get removed, and modules can be split. Even if these 
items of maintenance don't happen as often as we'd like, it surely is more 
important to actively encourage people to get more involved with KDE.

Yeah I agree really. I think the current system where modules get full of 
stale applications, and there is no distinction between libs and apps is a 
little flawed. Lets invite the author to put KMuddy in extragear. This 
application isn't stale yet, but it might become stale more quickly if we 
don't offer a development incentive.
