I did some qa uploads (so if that doesn't qualify as 'a lot', simply ignore this email). I don't think importing all (or a part) orphaned packages in a (public) VCS is anything near helpful. Which one to choose, for example? one may like A and dislike B, while another may love C, quite like B and dislike A, and another one prefers B over anything else; or any other possible combinations. I think that the best workflow for a QA upload is: take the canonical source package (hence from the debian archive), do the needed changes, upload. Simple, fast, no additional layers not strictly needed (that could scare potential contributors): as it should be for a *temporary* maintainership of a package.
