From time to time I look at the open RC bugs and check grep-excuses "Debian Multimedia Team" to look for packages which haven't migrated for some months. This method doesn't catch packages that aren't RC-buggy, but it's a start. One could probably script something using UDD: check for packages that are team maintained but haven't had an upload in, say, two years. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
