Old?  Sure.  Indifferentely maintained?  Being the maintainer, I would 
not call it that. :-)  Poi has seen six releases this year.

I intend to maintain it for a while longer, also if plone.org does not 
use it anymore.

But I certainly agree: nowadays a site like github.com is better suited 
for hosting the source code and issue trackers of Plone add-ons.  It 
makes sense for plone.org to move in a different direction.

If anyone wants to make an exporter from Poi to github, I'd be happy to 
assist.

Best,
