Perhaps I don't realize the trouble, could you elaborate? I expect
orphaned packages to be adopted by someone, likely a member of
Stewardship SIG. These two packages are low-maintenance and don't
require much work - they don't have many upstream changes and don't
get many bugs reported. So I don't see that much trouble in this case.

Definitely - this is the reason I wrote to the list. Do you have any
proposal what to do with these packages instead of orphaning them?
Sorry for jumping in. I think this might be an opportunity to participate in the Fedora
Projekt. I’ve a lot of experience in java development and in creating application rpms,
but none in the specialties of Fedora packaging. Would you accept me as co-maintainer and
provide some guidance at the beginning?
