I hope that the bugs will be fixed soon - at least I have heard rumors
that work is going on.

I see no reason to remove bug free packages. I just used to take over all
orphaned packages which have bugs filed on it in the past. As long as
theses packages are free of bugs I see no reason for an upload. In
general I would offer to care for biology related packages if noone else
would be able to do this instead of me.

ACK. I was the former maintainer and think if noone insists it can be removed.

It would be great if someone would step in here. Graphical frontends to
PostgreSQL are quite rare.

Same as for bugsx and fastlink. If you think the wishlist bug is a
problem I would care for it soon.

Hmm, would be a shame if noone would care for it. My son likes it and
the bugs on it do not seem really hard, IMHO.
Kind regards

PS: In general I like the idea to consolidate the archive ...
