I don't see that Peter was suggesting that holding the abandonware from
Google Code Archives makes it maintained per se (because in the
archives, they cannot) - but there are two aspects of being maintained:
the upstream maintainer, and the FreeBSD port. Be sure not to talk past
each other.

I will suggest that the author's activity in the software's surroundings
(support mailing lists, web site, forums, ...) should also be considered.
