Sure it helps keep Gentoo clean and up-to-date, the load of packages
that are outdated are often unmaintained as well. The one leads to the
other. Anyway, nobody would know about outstanding issues that popped
up, because there is no maintainer to assign them to.

How do you know you resolved it, you don't get bugreports on it do you ?
I mean, you aren't the maintainer. And there is still the outstanding
issue that it is unmaintained in Gentoo, are you going to fix that or
not ? Otherwise it should be masked and removed.
