There is a map add-on which doesn't work as provided because the position of the first (and only) player is not set. See map "the inperium of the 7 A". Thinking of this: What will happen with add-ons which are not maintained anymore, e.g. do not work with recent widelands versions, or versions which are not shipped with actual distributions? Will the add-on author(s) be informed in such a case?

I have changed the add-on's rating to Poor now which in my opinion is the preferred way to flag add-ons that are not truly fit for purpose. This one slipped through the moderation since I don't normally start a full test game when reviewing a map add-on. When an unmaintained add-on is reported as broken by a new WL version, I'd simply set its max WL version property accordingly and post a comment on the add-on to notify the author, who can then overwrite this with an update if he's still interested in maintaining it.
