See, that's where we get into the "no OBVIOUS solution" thing, because those 
are not the obvious actions everyone can agree on. In fact, I would personally 
argue that dumping even MORE work on the most active packagers (the busiest 
ones already dealing with the most packages) is exactly the wrong approach. 
They have enough going on already.

Anyway, a package being orphaned is not a crisis event. In the short term, 
nothing changes, except that it gets placed on this report so that other 
packagers are aware that it's available in case they might have an interest in 
maintaining it.

Even if a package manages to stay in orphaned state for 6 weeks and get 
retired, reversing that is not particularly difficult. It's not like the 
package is banned from the distro forever.
