Well, maybe the actual situation would be better reflected if one of the interested parties adopted the package and retitled the O bug to RFA? > Therefore I don't think that merely being orphaned is a good criterion > for removal; especially not until we make sure that all unmaintained or > badly maintained packages are in fact orphaned. Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure how the existence of more packages that should be orphaned invalidates dealing with those that presently are. There's 169 orphaned packages today, why not do something about them?
