Bug#75985: bot should forward orphans to wnpp (was: Orphaning some packages)

[Peter Palfrader <ppalfrad@cosy.sbg.ac.at>]

Package: qa.debian.org
Version: 20001031
Severity: wishlist

The bot that handles control@qa.debian.org should also file bugs against
wnpp if someone issues one of those commands (or instruct the author of
a command to manipulate bugs (him|her)self):

 http://qa.debian.org/bot-quickref.html:
[..]
|  The following commands are understood by the QA-Bot at
|  <control@qa.debian.org>:
[..]
|    * For Package Maintainers
|       
|             helpme <package> [{yes|no|true|false|1|0}]
|                     Declare that you need some kind of help with
|                     <package> (or if false, that you no longer do).
|                     When this is true, QA people will investigate your
|                     package via the Bug Tracking System and try to
|                     offer help. If you need help for a very specific
|                     task you may want to contact the QA committee so
|                     that they create a new task that will appear in the
|                     task list.
|                     
|             orphan <package> [{yes|no|true|false|1|0}]
|                     Declare that you are no longer maintaining
|                     <package> (or if false, that you are adopting it or
|                     taking it back). Don't forget to upload the package
|                     with <AB> Debian QA Group <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>
|                     <BB> as maintainer field when you orphan a package.
|                     
|             adopt <package>
|                     Declare that you are taking over (adopting)
|                     <package>.

You should probably also file bugs against wnpp.
