Upstream there was a discussion of interest. Pointing at random mail in
that tread:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2006-July/msg00008.html
So there are people which prefer ggv over evince...

>  * net-news/straw https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D187285

This bug is already fixed since straw-0.27 is in the tree.

>  * net-news/logjam https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D181236

> If no-one takes them, I'll proceed to package removal.

This are the cases where removal is not a best solution. straw and
logjam have upstream so it's better to move them into Sunrise: users who
use this packages could maintain them there... For ggv it seems that
it's better to leave it as is. May be just stabilize the most recent
version - let arch teams test it and if it works no need to remove it
from the tree.
