Nevertheless, when the involved package is orphaned, it would be a good idea to change its status to reflect the fact it is indeed orphaned, but also on the way to be adopted: a kind of limbo status.Do you mean something like: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/orphaned_byage Anyone can adopt an orphaned package. Just put some work into it and send a bug to sponsorship-requests.
I did, but my package has not been yet sponsored: somehow `my' package has been already adopted, but it is still orphaned: something marking this kind of temporary situation should exist, and you be good for Debian and the adopter. Cheers, Jerome
