Another category is documents seeking a maintainer. This is where
the current maintainer doesn't want to do it anymore but is willing to
keep maintaining it until someone else comes along. This could be
called the "maintainer wanted" category.
One way to do this in on a trial basis. The old maintainer may want
to be able to reclaim the doc if s/he thinks that the new maintainer
is not doing a satisfactory job. It would be up to the old maintainer
as to whether or not s/he wants to go this route.
What about calling the archive "obsolete" to show that the docs in
them don't really need a new maintainer (unless someone really wants
to do it).
