RFA bugs are filled against wnpp and there is no way to tell if the Maintainer is subscribed to the bug. If your intent was to look for sponsors there is a special procedure for that, but you should still CC the original Maintainer, as they might want to sponsor you. In the particular case of jabberd2 you should most definitely contact the Maintainer first, because: - it is a Team (they will probably welcome your help) - they are not the original Maintainer who filed the RFA (they may have forgotten to close the bug) Regarding udns, the package doesn't appear to be orphaned (no O: bug against wnpp). In this case uploading a new package might be considered a hijack. If you want to help you should definitely contact the Maintainer first. Kind regards, Andrei P.S. This is probably off-topic for debian-devel, you might want to follow-up on debian-qa P.P.S.
