Have a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ for information. An orphaned package is one with no current maintainer. An adoptable package is one which is looking for a new maintainer, which includes both orphaned packages and other packages which are still maintained but which the maintainer wishes to hand on to someone else.
