Matthew, are we really stabilising maintainer-needed packages again? Please consider adding yourself as maintainer to LXDE then.

> are we really stabilising maintainer-needed packages again?

This isn't something I do often. From a search, it looks like I've only ever filed a stablereq for two other m-n packages and they were both for EAPI-6 cleanup.

To be honest, I don't remember why I wanted to stabilise this package but I can assure you that I did not just roll a dice to pick a package with the aim of wasting the AT's time...

But yes, I see the issue with having zombie packages like this so I'll either refrain from poking at them or will adopt them in the future :)

I'm sure, but could it just have been made by mistake?

That is exactly the state these (lxde-base/*) packages are in. They only remain in tree because for some reason I bothered to fix, bump and switch them to GTK3, see bug 769524, even if I don't use them myself (and for that reason did not make myself maintainer), dropping them back to ~arch in order to make no false promise.
