fe_adminLib is part of the core and thus maintained as well.

direct_mail_subscription for example uses fe_adminLib; in fact, it 
consists for a large part of configuration of fe_adminLib. That is also 
the reason why this extension from 2006 can still be used today.

sr_feuser_register is in many regards similar to fe_adminLib, but added 
the feature of admin-reviews among others. It also uses an MVC structure 
for the code, which unfortunately has a few side effects (complicated 
code structure, data is copied all over the place) and -- like 
fe_adminLib -- relies on JavaScript for correct form handling (not only 
for data evaluation!) (web guidelines...).
Handling of TCA-fields is very limited in sr_feuser_register (I don't 
know about fe_adminLib).

Just my EUR 0.02 ;-)
