Chances are that nobody cares (nobody cared to edit it in ~1.5 years), I'd say 
the cost of going over the list and updating it exceed the benefits of having 
it around. Some components don't even exist anymore, and everything else has 
moved to Qt 5 and Plasma 5, which fixes most of the problems (from a cursory 
look over the list, I didn't see a single item where I'm sure it's still an 
issue). Currently existing issues are in bugs.kde.org, and that's really where 
we should put them (we've moved from "basically every app has to be fixed" to 
"there are a few special cases we've missed", the latter is well manageable 
through bugreports, which has a lower chance of being ignored).

Even if we update the page today, there's no guarantee, not even a process to 
make sure it's up to date in the future. IMO, that's what we have bugs.kde.org 
for, a list on the wiki is useful for a short-lived, concerted effort, but not 
for keeping track "indefinitely".
