wnpp = "Work Needed and Prospective Packages"

Basically, it gives you a list of all the packages you have installed where 
the maintainer would like some help.  They might need someone to take over 
maintainership or they might just need someone to help wrangle bugs or 
something else.

Each request is tracked as a Debian bug.  More details are usually in the bug 
report.
