I've learned with first-person experience that no metadata doesn't means that |
| 6 |
a package is orphaned... |

So maybe it's better said to developers: if you maintain something *please* |
| 8 |
add a metadata, or update it, so that who looks at bugs know who to ask to. |

Well maybe we can have a way to define "latest portage version" for removed |
| 13 |
package (a tag on cvs?) so that someone can prepare a weekly tarball of |
| 14 |
removed packages waiting for new maintainers or so on. |
