11 please reconsider dropping packages just because they don't currently have a
12 dedicated maintainer. if upstream is alive and people are using it, leave it
13 alone. especially if it's a popular package with just a handful of bugs. also,
14 it's a lot more likely you'll find a new maintainer for a package when it's
15 already in the tree for people to discover and use.

17 isn't this what the maintainer-needed alias is for?
