Not yet. The buglist lists packages that need care. This includes
critical bugs and also version upgrade requests. William is
working on a system which automatically checks for version upgrades
and files bugs against the package. So the buglist will become
even more important as it show which packages actually need care,
just to be orphaned is not really an issue for a package which has
no bugs and when there is no new version for 5 years.


Best regards
