Point to the thread where such claims were made?

Grub was made as default and Red Hat had no interest in lilo after that. 
That shouldnt matter since non Red Hat folks can and do already maintain 
many more packages in the Fedora repositories. My personal opinions on 
this matter have atleast been verifiable unlike your claim that all the 
updates are backports. If you want to, you can do the constructive thing 
and take up maintenance of lilo. If you decide to do that, no one is 
going to stop you. In effect, the lack of maintainer is the only 
possible thing that is stopping the presence of the package in Fedora 
repository at this point.
