The only example I could think of was Freetusky, which was unmaintained while upstream Tusky itself got regular updates. That's what I'd guess as reason for its quite recent archival: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commit/f9b7a9540f368f7cd4a85c574b1c1435beed299a https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/commit/f9b7a9540f368f... Latest version is 8.0.7 while upstream Tusky's latest version is 12.1. Back when it was new, the F-Droid devs actually defended Freetusky and didn't follow demands for its removal. https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/1736 https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/1736 I don't think that F-Droid should pander to people who don't care about FOSS or maintaining software, no matter their views. Disclaimer: F-Droid maintainer/contributor (but gotten inactive for unrelated reasons). Edit to add: note that another Tusky fork had been uploaded to F-Droid (Husky) before Freetusky got removed.
