Last time I ran the checking script, there were 58 orphans, and 15 of them had a package in the repo. So most of them are removed, but not all... I think they all should be. For devel, I think the policy should be "all the packages present in the repo must have a maintainer". The maintainer is free to offer the package to be taken over on the orphan wiki page, but either the current maintainer's email address stays in owners, or the package is removed from the repo. > I think the current way is goode for packages which are unorphaned because > the maintainer is MIA or doesn't have time anymore, but which do have a > future, I think your way is a good idea for packages which may assumed dead. > That way we can differentiate between the two cases.

Or start a FE packages lifecycle page... I attempted something along those lines on the Extras/SIGs/QA wiki page...
