What do you mean by « existing "O" fields » ? And what do you want to know ? To orphan a package, you don't need to upload a version with QA as a maintainer, you just send the "orphan <package>" ... but your name will appear in the page and you will still get bug reports. > * For tracking purposes you might want to make those sql bools date > strings, with a null date being false, unless this is somehow > handled by the contact table.
