However, since Franck was not using the debian.org email for package psad, package psad was not covered. In this case, I think orphaning the package looks reasonable. CC-ing tobi (from MIA Team) about this issue: I believe we also need more bug reports on packages on https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=franck.joncourt%40gmail.com to have the name removed from package uploaders list. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
