I think the list of packages that need lovin', needs lovin' itself. It seems this list is abandonware.

If you look into the details for some these packages, you will see that it is a dead discussion forgotten even by the person who initiated it, a decade ago.

E.g. the discussion about Libreoffice is not about Libreoffice at all, but Apache Open Office, and you can see that there are people who have offered help, but the OP never responded to their offers.

Just click on the links on the package names and read for yourself.

When I looked at the list, my first thought was amazement that LibreOffice has no maintainer.
