Why not name the package in question? It does not appear to be scim, which is
what you wrote in your subject line.
Looking at the removal log, I see scim-tables was removed today. I assume you
are referring to it.

The package was orphaned in February and removal was requested in May[1]. Thus
there was plenty of time to "stay at the front of this" if you had wished to.
I'm pretty sure the PTS[2] shows such actions prominently, and it's a good idea
to visit the PTS page of any package you really care about every once in a
while.

I believe it's possible to reintroduce the package if there's a willing and
able maintainer, but it'd need to go through NEW again
