OK, it is orphaned now.

This changes things - time to see if anyone wants to adopt it, if not,
the RFS should be a QA upload after 7 days, as normal.

That gives time to look at the remaining issue about missing
functionality.

Paul - do you have a fix for the zip file bug (or a start)?

Barry - what about the other packages by the same maintainer (quite a
few of them also have RC bugs)? The reason for orphaning orange applies
to the other packages too. (mia-query does show that voc is MIA).
