Huh ? I thought about "prospectives packages", ie software that is not yet
packaged for Debian ... I suppose that you thought about "offering for
adoption" ? If this is the case, then why not mark them as orphaned
(without changing the maintainer field) so that someone can pick them
up but the actual maintainer can continue to maintain it (since he still
get bug reports) until someone else take it over.

Yes of course :
echo "orphan name_of_orphaned_package" | mail control@qa.debian.org

Should I ask for the creation of such a mailing list ? Once it is created
I can easily add the list in the different aliases ...
