After really short looking at it I've got some questions:
1) If you intend to adopt this package then you have to retitle orphanage
bug to ITA: and change owner to you.
#272165 & http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l3
2) Also (connected with above) if you intend to adopt it, then you should
make some changes to copyright file. Write there that you're the
maintainer of it, and list previous maintainers.
3) How did you get so big .diff file?
-rw-r--r-- 1 fenio fenio 88633 2004-09-22 20:28 liferea_0.6.0-1.diff.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 fenio fenio 5672 2004-08-31 20:32 liferea_0.5.3b-2.diff.gz
3) Did you checked if this new version fixes some outstanding bugs?
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=liferea
4) linda and lintian complain about missing manual page
Seems that simple symlink to from liferea.1 to liferea-bin.1 should be
enough to fix it.
That's everything now ;)
And don't count on me with possible sponsoring cause I'm not DD yet.
