It wasn't only orphaned, it was also completely removed from the development distributions as it was considered obsolete and a better replacement was available (see <http://bugs.debian.org/197190>). You might want to try the pork package. > bug.

(I don't consider myself qualified for that.) No, a "Request For Package" (RFP) merely states you'd like to have this particular software included and you want someone else to pretty please maintain it properly. An "Intent To Package" (ITP) on the other hand would entail a commitment to act as the package maintainer. Details on how to submit either way can be found on the WNPP site you mention above.
