If these packages have still a formal maintainer, you can either propose them an updated package, so they can upload it; or else you can convince them to orphan the package, and handle it as a QA upload [1].

That's always a very good things to do qa upload. You can start from this page [2] to find orphaned or up to adoption packages you might start work on.

So, are there any comments on my idea? > Would there any sponsors be interested in this QA job? Well, upload to mentors.d.n and send a RFS here, as usual. I suggest to write explicitly in the RFS email subject that's a QA upload.
