Package: wnpp https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ apparently only shows package where a maintainer has cried for help, or packages that don't exist yet, and people wish existed.
It should also list and mention how to file reports about * Packages that reporters worry that the maintainer might be ill or have died. * Packages that reporters worry that the maintainer is otherwise not worthy of being the maintainer, and should have a new maintainer. Indeed these would be new categories of the current "Packages in need of a new maintainer" section.
