One of the packages I "maintain" is cgoban. I packaged it ages ago when I was a fanatical Go player. Nowadays I only get Go fever about one week per year, and it's hard to make time for this package when I'm uninspired about the game. I'd like to give it to someone who actually uses it.
cgoban - Complete Go board This program presents a graphical Go board on which you can play. It doesn't play against you, you need another program (like gnugo) to do that. It's primarily designed to play on two Internet Go servers, IGS and NNGS. The author of cgoban is friendly and responsive, but he considers cgoban to be obsolete. He's working on cgoban2, which is written in Java and is a client for a different set of Go servers (KGS), so it's not a replacement for cgoban. There is now a sourceforge project for maintaining cgoban1, as one bugreporter rudely pointed out. Packaging that version would be a productive way to take over this package :) If you want it, please let me know, and (to avoid collisions) wait for me to confirm before you actually make an upload.
