Is that in addition to or instead of orphaning the package? If someone notices that a package is in need of greater attention, but cannot commit to attending it themselves, it's important that the packages is marked at least as needing help. I understand the entire point here is to mark packages which are effectively abandoned as orphaned, so that others can see them in the wnpp news for instance. It's certainly better if a new foster maintainer can be found for the package right away, but it should IMHO not be mandatory. Prospective maintainers, those that "want to help Debian" but don't know were to start, will be able to adopt an orphaned package, but not to salvage one in most cases. Take it as a three body encounter: - a package with no effective maintainer; - a developer who notices the problem; - a prospective maintainer.
