We have discussed that before in this thread :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/07/msg00540.html

What we essentially need, is a lightweight procedure to orphan individual
packages.  I propose this :

  |  Anyone can mark a package as orphaned after the following steps have been
  |  completed : Someone submits an "intent to orphan" in the bts with an
  |  explanation of why he/she thinks that the package needs a new maintainer.
  |  Anyone can submit this "intent to orphan".  At least three DD's second the
  |  "intent to orphan" on the same bug report with a cc to the maintainer.  
And the
  |  maintainer does not respond within one month after the the third second.

After the package is orphaned, the rest of the "salvaging" fits in the existing
procedures.

Regards,

Bart Martens
