As already stated by Flameeyes, we could produce a list of hundreds of ebuilds to remove,
just because they are unmaintained. So, let's start alphabetically:

   app-arch/arc
   app-arch/lha
   app-arch/pdv
   app-arch/rpm
   app-arch/upm
   app-arch/upx
   app-arch/zip
   app-arch/dump
   app-arch/lzop
   app-arch/gtk-splitter
   app-arch/mscompress
   app-arch/cksfv
   app-arch/tardy
   app-arch/unace
   app-arch/unarj
   app-arch/bsdsfv
   app-arch/stuffit
   app-arch/guitar
   app-arch/upx-ucl

Good luck with that approach... :)

OK, if someone wants some starting point that makes at least some sense, see
http://tinyurl.com/bbvxs which lists open bugs assigned to maintainer-needed
that are not enhancement/version bump.
