They haven't answered bugs filed January 31st, how long do you think
it is appropriate to wait before taking over a package? This is a big
project, it's hard enough to finish as it is. It wasn't exactly our
choice to do those packages since it involved more work for us.

I'm sure most of the maintainers who didn't answer the bug reports are
retired even though they may be listed as active.

So, to sum up, we contacted everyone in an official way and we're
offering everyone to keep ownership of their packages. Note that we
have not "taken" ownership of anything since nothing has been released
yet. It's to avoid "taking" ownership from maintainers who are active
and want to keep their packages I'm trying to contact them this way
too.
