But I think that many of then will be taken , like perl.
A few thoughts: No maintainer doesn't mean, for me, no package
maintained. So if history packages still working, I looked for some
tcl(s) packages like itcl , if no good motive to orphaning , I can
rebuild it :) 
But my the point is many people volunteer to maintain many package in
above list.
