Well OK, that can of course be true. But it can also be the case that
someone started a project and then got bored before it was finished,
which may be more common...

I think you can get an insight into this by the nature of the tool.
Plugins can be "small and focussed". GUI test tools tend not to be,
especially as the libraries they support themselves change over time.

I'd suggest we can do this on a case by case basis. Create a separate
reference page for stuff that appears unmaintained but still may have
some value. I (and others) can then post edit suggestions here along
the lines of :

Kiwi - delete
pyWinAuto - unmaintained

and wait a few days for anyone to object.
