There's no such thing as "great unmaintained code".

  of course there is... great code that doesnt get refactored. Kick aside corporate jargon and namby-pamby ness :) The point was sometimes stuff just works, much better than a mess of a refactored project that has a core flaw.

    Great code is still subject to entropy. Shit will break. Mail servers will start using some proposed SMTP extension, someone will find a nasty bug or two, there will be security problems and inconsistencies and inefficiencies discovered.

      Sure. Then you simply require hit-and-run commits to be well-commented and also include good docs. Just because it's not currently maintained does not mean it won't be maintained in the future.
