That would be good - having a section with packages marked "actively
maintained" and another section (more to the bottom) marked "currently
unmaintained".
We could have still another section "archived" for the really outdated
cruft.

I do agree with Carnë & Jordi that we should be careful with Octave's and
Octave-Forge's reputation. 

BTW I think I saw several dummy packages listed.
