IMO maintainer-wanted@ bugs can be resolved only in two ways:

1) package accepted into main tree, bug is closed as FIXED. If package
sits in sunrise - it's not a solution and bug should not be closed;
2) package has dead upstream, does not build with current
gcc/glibc/binutils/whatever and can not be fixed - bug is closed as
OBSOLETE.
