Hello.

I've recently made QA uploads for the following two orphaned packages:

closure-compiler
tuxguitar

Because lintian flagged this as "orphaned-package-maintained-in-private-space"
which is an anomaly, and the packages were orphaned a long time ago,
I decided to change the Vcs fields so that they point to the "debian" namespace.

(I made a mistake with tuxguitar, because I naively used the fork
button as a way to "copy" the repository, but then I had to ask salsa
support to drop the "fork" status. AFAIK the more orthodox way to do
this is to ask salsa support to move the repository first, as I did
with closure-compiler later. Not sure if the proper procedure
for this is documented anywhere).

Anyway, you should feel free to move any of those packages again to
the "java-team" namespace if a member of the team adopts any of them.
On the other hand, I think it would be also ok if someone from the
team adopts any of them and keeps the Vcs fields pointing at the
"debian" namespace.

Thanks.
