I will change the ITO to 'read about orphanded package on > debian-devel'. Please compare [1], [2], and [3]. Basically: 1. maintainer writes -devel 2. maintainer writes -devel and files RFAs 3. maintainer submits O: bug against wnnp and CC's -devel [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/02/msg00346.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/02/msg00534.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/02/msg00676.html But orphaning bugs can be filed without sending mail to -devel, though this makes them less effective.
