The following packages are orphaned and will be retired when they
are orphaned for six weeks, unless someone adopts them. If you know for sure
that the package should be retired, please do so now with a proper reason:

I see lots of packages that are orphaned, but have one or more co-maintainer.
Sometimes they may quickly take the package, sometimes they may be on holidays.
Would you object if promote a co-maintainer to main maintainer for orphaned
packages and make it a rule?
I would, as repeatedly said in the past.
Let's say we have a package that has 8 listed maintainers.
When the package is orphaned (e.g. because the buzgilla that said it does not
install was ignored by all 8 maintainers), it would be assigned to one of them,
we are at 7 maintainers. It would take 8 another weeks to orphan it again, and
again, and again.
If a package is orphaned by administrative action (e.g. nonrepsonsive policy,
inactive packager), the "operator" whould offer the package to comaintainers.
If a package is orphaned for FTBFS/FTI reason, co-maiantainers clearly should
not get it automatically.
If the original main admin orphans it, they should communicate with their
co-maintainers. In reallity, they don't always do that, but that is an exception.
