The 7 others simply have no longer a package in the devel repo.

Yes, according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/OrphanedPackages
(though only hping2 is listed in my list and on the wiki).

They are listed in the owners file and have a maintainer.  If you want 
details, you could email the maintainer or open a BZ ticket for the component.

Closing a bug does not automatically remove the blocker.  It needs to be done 
manualy (clear the "Bug 179039 blocks" field, which appears to have been done 
now :-) )
