I've been reading up about Akregator, and it seems to be direly under-staffed in terms of developer oomph. There was blag post a few years ago about porting it to Akondai: http://algorithmsforthekitchen.com/blog/?p=137 but it is still using Metakit.
Maybe this is the wake up call to get Akregator back up to snuff, though. I might look at the code to see if theres anything I can do, at least.
