I just did a query of all the packages in EPEL that are currently orphaned and contain vulnerabilies.  I'm wondering if any of them are still useful or if they can be removed from the repos.  Here's the list:

couchdb - epel-all
ejabberd - epel-5
erlang - epel-5
horde - epel-all
libmodplug - epel-5 and epel-6
libupnp - epel-all
mantis - epel-5
maradns - epel-5
mediawiki - epel-5
mediawiki116 - epel-all
mod_wsgi - epel-5
moin - epel-5
openjpeg - epel-5
osc - epel-6
php-magpierss - epel-all
php-suhosin - epel-all
pki-common - epel-5
polipo - epel-all
python26-mod_wsgi - epel-5
python26-simplejson - epel-5
qemu - epel-5
revelation - epel-5
telepathy-gabble - epel-6
tigase-server - epel-all
torque - epel-all
wordpress-mu - epel-5
xinha - epel-5
zope - epel-5

Some of the vulnerabilities on these packages are quite serious.  I just don't know if any of these packages are still necessary and if they are how we can get them adopted and updated to remove the vulnerabilities.
