There will be weekly warnings, like there are now to notify everyone
about orphaned packages. But this is here on the devel list. What kind
of warnings would you like to have for users?

Usually they should already are if a package is orphaned, because it
means it is probably not maintained properly anymore.

Why is this helpful? If a package is orphaned and someone wants to adopt
it, this should be done now and not at late as possible.
