ckermit is indeed orphaned (see #143649). Ian Beckwith
<ianb@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> said in December that he'd adopt the package
but hasn't done so (yet?).
As to timidity and parted1.6: timidity has been adopted from an
inactive maintainer a few months ago and while the current maintainer
certainly works on the package he is fairly busy. So help is
certainly welcome there. parted1.6 has a fairly busy maintainer, too,
but a second person got involved recently. Similarly, it would help
here if you would go through the bug listing, reproduce bugs, attach
patches.

The maintainer of these packages is in New Maintainer, and he been put
on hold. Let's CC his Application Manager.
