Hmm, libburn is marked as "help wanted" [1]. I could not find any bug in wnpp [2] marking is as orphan. Where did you get the info that this package is orphaned ? Anyway, your help is probably more than welcome. But you must check with the current package owner (cc'ed) if this package is not orphaned. The PTS [3] also indicated that this package is team maintained, so you should also join the maintenance team on alioth [4].
