Many thanks and thumbs up to Lucas as well. > maybe we could simply allow anyone, including non-DDs, to submit O-bugs for > packages which seem abandoned by the maintainer, and to submit ITA-bugs for > packages he/she wishes to salvage. I think that this misses one of the reasons for the original proposal, which is to provide guidelines to the contributors who refrain from orphaning packages because they are not sure how to appreciate whether packages "seem abandonned". Everybody who are confident in what they are doing can orphan anything any time. And they are fully responsible for their mistakes. The guidelines that are proposed to be added in the Developers reference are a formal process, which purpose is to help the orphaners to strongly reduce the chances that they make a mistake. In my understanding, the existence of such a process would not prevent people who know what they are doing to orphan packages when it makes sense. But for the non-exceptional cases, let's recomend to follow written recommendations who are clear to everyone.
