thanks, should have looked there first.

do you guys think it makes sense to go through that list, take packages
with open bugs, fix them and num them (and set the Maintainer field to
qa, of course)?

I used to do that, although I haven't for a while due to other
commitments. Sure, that sounds reasonable, provided that the wnpp bug
for the package doesn't indicate that somebody is in the process of
adopting it.

If they're genuinely useful, yes.  But there's a lot of cruft in there (and
in the properly orphaned list, too), and for stuff that's been orphaned a
while, if they haven't had a QA upload in that time, it's pretty likely that
nobody (even on QA) actually gives a shit about them, and they should
probably be removed.
