Hi,
It looks like the maintainer of abby has recently packaged a replacement,
nomnom. Since this shows he is still active, I recommend to wait two weeks for
his answer to the proposition to remove the package, that you made in
http://bugs.debian.org/687579#10.
In the absence of answer, debian-qa is an appropriate list to discuss further
the removal. If there a consensus for it, you can submit the request yourself
to the FTP team.
But I think you were right to use debian-mentor for asking for a general
advice.
Have a nice week-end,
