42 Well, the idea would be to get their bugs assigned to maintainer-needed
43 and media-optical CCed if somebody wants to take that stuff someday, it
44 would reflect better reality as, currently, their bugs are being
45 assigned to an empty herd (yes, xarthisius (I think he was in alias but
46 not officially in herd last time I checked, anyway it's only one
47 example, nothing personal against him of course :)). What will occur
48 when he simply drops his mail from alias as he never wanted to be a
49 member of that herd? What would occur if he only wants to maintain some
50 packages but others are getting ignored?
51
52 The idea to get them moved to "orphan" is to reflect reality and, that
53 way, try to get developers (or users willing to proxy maintain them)
54 involved on exact apps they really want to keep maintained.
