In my experience with several projects, they get out of beta once enough
stable and complete (by definition of the authors, some users will always
disagree 8-). If the maintainers can't work anymore on it for some reason,
then someone else can take over and do a final release, as long as it's
free...

Does that matter, except it will probably not put on the GNU main site?
