the list of debian packges needing a new maintainer is growing all the time. so - what about removeing some packages, if they are no longer maintained, or (better) moving them into section contrib (or a new section "orphaned" ?). it will be better for debian to have less packages but good maintained ones, than to have many packages not being good maintained. debian has a good name - orphaned packages can destroy it. but people have put a lot of work in some packages, so we shouldn't delete them. a section orphaned or so would be one way, to still provide them (maybe as a staring point for new packages), but not drop them entirely. what do you think ? regards, andreas -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
