There does seem, from this end-user's perspective, some libraries where the original developer does not seem to be working on it anymore, whether to fix bugs, update docs, or possibly to make changes. This is quite understandable if a library does not need changes aside from the very occasional bug, which is probably the case with many libraries. 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:
There is at least some perception that Boost.Python is somewhat unmaintained, even though its authors are still very active in boost development in general - a project I'm working with cited the "lack of active development" in Boost.Python as a major reason they chose to use SWIG instead (and I think that's a terrible shame, because I personally like the Boost.Python approach better).
