And what if they never do the switch? We can't keep GNOME 1 forever. > Orphan packages that you don't want to maintain, and I'm happy to > maintain what actually needs a non-orphaned maintainer.

While it is generous for our users to offer your time to maintain old software, I'm not sure you're really doing them a favor with respect to bug fixes, and I'm not sure keeping so many old packages won't pressure the release team and the security team: in the end, it also hurts non-GNOME 1 users.
