Hi,
I have had a look at the orphaned packages in preparation for another round
of clean-up. See my summary here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/Extra_Orphans_CleanUp
What is listed is orphans that are out-of-date, fortune-mod packages and
games that are orphaned for both arches.
Some of the out-of-date orphans are requires for packages which do have
maintainers. I have flagged the packages so have a quick look at the list
and see you need them for one of your packages.

I went over the list. I adopted 2 of these (I removed them from the
list) and added several comments.
Important points:
- Some of these are makedepends from other packages. You should keep
an eye on that if you're not already doing it.
- Some of them are depends/makedepends for community packages so they
should be moved to community. I noticed a couple of these but there
could be more.
The i18n stuff should stay in extra. A user is working on updating
some of them:

Thank for going through the list. I realized the out-of-date orphan
list contained packages that needed to stay as makedeps or deps for
community but had not looked at that yet. I was hoping people would see
packages they needed and adopt them before I had to spend too much time
on this...
