Hi,

Yes.

On the other hand:
- when someone is trying to adopt a package, it's a good time for
  co-maintainers to show up and help, possibly creating a team around the
  package.
- sometimes packages stay in the ITA state for a very long time, even
  the person filing the ITA is not active anymore on the package.

So, I think that what is really needed is a mechanism (e.g. config
file) for users to hide some types of opportunities. Just because it
will be hard to find a selection that works for everybody.
