Thanks a lot for the feedback so far. If you are slightly interested in a package but do not want to maintain it all on your own, let us know regardless. I think it will be best if some of these will e maintained by more than one packager.
As for pushing openssl into [staging]: If people agree I can do so. But if we do not follow up with an effort to push all depending rebuilds, we will end up with a lot of broken packages and/or conflicts with other rebuilds.
