Uploading the package to collab-maint is trivial, but it doesn't make it
any less orphaned. There still isn't anyone really maintaining it. I
don't think use of collab-maint really has much to do with anything; I'm
already using it for one of my packages, but I actually adopted that one.
If we're talking about a group of people taking collective responsibility
for keeping orphaned packages kicking along, I guess I'm not sure how that
differs from what we already have right now. (Although using a shared
source control system for orphaned packages while they're in the care of
the QA group seems like a good idea.)
