I do not think "adoption" is the right word here; in Debian context it somehow implies that the package is orphaned and sees no maintenance. > However wnpp could be used as a tool here: Why not advertise > using a RFA and telling there that the team has open positions? *shrug*. In pkg-ruby-extras, that wnpp bug would be very generic: "please join and work on all packages that you can find" ... Best, -- ,''`.
