inactive maintenance



Hello, wnpp

I'm wondering if there is a practice to force package to be orphaned in a case 
of chronic lack of maintenance?

Perhaps, for some package there was no maintainer activity for several years, 
but only NMU's, wich purpose was not to fix some critical bugs but just to 
update a very old software version.

The situation is even worse: the maintainer is popping up from time to time 
and permitting to do a NMU with "so much changes in the package". In result, 
there is possible to upload to 'experimental' keeping all old technical 
garbage and crooks and not to improve the packaging quality.

Should exist some way to fix that.
