Popular, maybe, but there're enough bug to make it a difficult task to 
maintain.
Current versions are tested only on transcode 0.6 (I'm sure that at least the 
versions that upstream consider stable does not run with transcode 1.0) and 
it has to inherit also all the bugs of transcode 0.6 then.
Currently there's no one in Video team that seems to be taking care of dvdrip 
so the bugs will continue stratification on bugzilla.

If a new maintainer is found, fine, it can remain, but currently the resources 
of Video team are limited and we have enough problems to take care of without 
dvdrip.

The new maintainer would anyway have to take care of transcode, too, or at 
least make sure that dvdrip in portage can work with transcode 1.x as that 
has lots less problems than the old 0.6 one.
