Unless the package is in a bad shape while having very few users, it's not going to be removed. -- Cheers, Andrej

If you are intending to adopt the package, you should rename the O (Orphaned) bug to ITA (Intent To Adopt) and create an updated package fixing some of the issues and naming yourself as maintainer. Then, if you need a sponsor, upload the package to mentors.debian.net and create a RFS (Request For Sponsorship) bug to request that a Debian Developer review and upload the package for you.
O to ITA WAS: no response

Bug#926731: ITS: urlscan/0.9.2 - extract and browse email URLs
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the existing debian package "urlscan[1]", used by email clients such as mutt to parse and pipe embedded urls. The debian package is an update and improvement to another debian package "urlview", but[2] the debian version of "urlscan" is ten point releases and over three years behind the upstream, the debian maintainer seems not active[3], and that maintainer's sponsor has expressed to me a lack of interest. Based upon an email from Paul Wise[4], and from reading the debian manual[5], I guess the correct bureaucratic procedure is to start a 'salvage' process; the circumstances seem to clearly fit within the criteria of [5][6]. I am not subscribed to the debian-mentors mailing list, so please include me directly in all replies. The remainder of this email is based upon the RFS template[7].

no response Fwd: Bug#905080: O: as31 - Intel 8031/8051 assembler
I followed up on a "orphaned bug" by adding a message to the bug 905080. This got never a response. Did I make a mistake with respect to the Debian protocols? I seem to remember that I got a confirmation that in "due course" a Debianist would respond. And no, the 8051 is not dead by a long stretch. So deleting from the Debian distribution is not good. https://www.waveshare.com/product/mcu-tools/c8051f-boards/boards.htm Groetjes Albert original message Onderwerp: Bug#905080: O: as31 - Intel 8031/8051 assembler Datum: 2018-11-25 00:36 Afzender: Albert van der Horst Ontvanger: Bdale Garbee , 905...@bugs.debian.org Kopie: sub...@bugs.debian.org Antwoord-aan: Albert van der Horst , 905...@bugs.debian.org Bdale Garbee schreef op 2018-07-31 07:17: Package: wnpp Severity normal I no longer have any personal need for as31, so would like to drop it from the list of packages I maintain. I recently uploaded a fix for the segfault encountered building the usbdux driver in the firmware-nonfree source package. The only remaining open bug regards the ambiguity of upstream asserting the package is under "the BSD license" without specifying which precise variant. To the best of my knowledge, no packages in Debian depend on as31, but because there is a driver (that is not built for Debian by default) in the firmware-nonfree package that depends on it, I choose to orphan the package rather than just asking for it to be removed from the archive. I looked into this package and the upstream archive just exists. Moreover the package is up to date w.r.t. upstream since 2005. Apparently this is a superstable package where the last bugs disappeared ages ago. I would regret if this package disappears from Debian, because - the 8051 has historic interest, but also to this day practical interest - the assembler is a solid piece of software engineering, so it is worth maintaining and probably not overly time consuming. - if nothing else, it can serve as an example of the use of lex and yacc. After studying the project I'm willing to take on the orphaned 8051 assembler as31. My credentials: - dedicated to the free software movement (author of some free software) - unix/c experience since the 80's - sworn in as a maintainer at debian mentors (thanks, Geert Stappers!) - some experience with Debian packaging, and some familiarity with the policy and guidelines - extensive experience with software maintenance (as well as development) - affinity with the 8051, owner of dozens of single board computers, among them a couple 8051 based - Published a flash programmer for an Elektor board with a 8051 processor: https://forth.hcc.nl/w/Producten/Flash - a direct personal line to Willem Ouwerkerk, creator of a 8051 development system Bdale Groetjes Albert - end --- Groetjes Albert -- Suffering is the prerogative of the strong, the weak -- perish.
