If a package is being orphaned for legitimate reasons, the owner should
announce the intention to their co-maintainers first and they can opt to
remove their ACLs before the package is orphaned.
Its hard enough getting packages reviewed as is, let alone throwing a
myriad of perfectly functioning packages back on the pile.
While that makes some sense, it was not my point. My point was that even if
the package has NO maintainer, as long as it works, it's still better than
no package at all!
