Some years ago, people used a much simpler process. Why complicate matters? 1) report a bug 'should this package be orphaned?' against the package with a more or less defalut templated text and a serious severity 2) sleep 4*7*24*3600 3) if bug silent, orphan it (and maybe adopt it) For a quite common thing to do, this is just drowning it in bureaucracy. Taking over unmaintained packages should not be hard. We need people to do it. We need people to do it more than they do today. We need to make it easy. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
