Maybe a better idea, would to have "[orphan alert]" (or something
similar) in the subject of postes to the mageia-dev list. That way no
need to subscribe to another mailing list, and those particularly
interested in orphaned packages could filter their messages to put these
in a separate folder.
And of course, everyone interested in packaging/development would see
these posts.
Just an idea :)
