I make an attempt to get packages working before submitting removal requests.
Why should something be removed if it is still working?
I'm 100% in agreement with this.

Hello How do you define abandoned? Upstream stated software x is obsolete or just no upstream activity?
Nonetheless personally I submitted requests in the past for packages where upstream was gone and no alternative location of the software could be found (like active fork, still existing dev repo).
If a valid source was available I checked if it could be built and was working. If it was still working I just updated the Pkgbuild and mostly abandoned it afterwards. Not working --> request. Why should something be removed if it is still working?
Best regards
