I'm generally not glad that some people rearrange existing structure and expect that all of the affected authors follow. It's already tedious to catch up with the yearly changes in GHC's package and other base packages (e.g. transformers recently), and annoying when people propose to mark packages as "inactive" or "unmaintained" in Hackage whenever the package authors did not update their packages so far (and certainly lose compatibility to older 'base' versions this way). I would be glad if there is no further action to be taken for package authors, who added their packages somewhen in the past and don't see a reason to regularly check whether their packages are still listed in the Wiki, without being marked "inactive" or so. If you think the re-structuring is necessary, then at least ask the maintainers, whether they still maintain their packages, or just sort the packages according to the degree of activity you assume, but stay away from categorizing the packages in "active" and "inactive" based on speculation.
Okay, don't worry about it, I'll do it!
