I've learned with first-person experience that no metadata doesn't means that a package is orphaned... So maybe it's better said to developers: if you maintain something *please* add a metadata, or update it, so that who looks at bugs know who to ask to.

Well maybe we can have a way to define "latest portage version" for removed package (a tag on cvs?) so that someone can prepare a weekly tarball of removed packages waiting for new maintainers or so on. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò Gentoo Developer (Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Gentoo/AMD64) http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/
