I will cite a few where it seems to me that the original developer is nowhere around anymore, but this is just subjective and I might be totally wrong: ... value_init
As far as I know, Fernando Cacciola, the original developer of utility/value_init, is still around. I've been doing some maintenance to value_init as well, reviewed by Fernando. And I'm still busy fixing "Unconditional call to memset in value_initialized()" <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3869>. Unfortunately I haven't got enough time to finalize the fix this month, sorry! I hope to do so before the end of April. We still need to have a decision about your "Setting value_initialized<T> to a value when T is a top-level const" <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3472>. You know, I wasn't entirely sure about your proposed fix, so I proposed a slightly different fix. I still hope Fernando can make a choice between the two.
