Discussion about orphaned packages

[Anachron]

So we've talked about this a few times before, but I wanted to get this noted here as well.

We have different type of "Orphaned" packages currently in Void Linux, mainly:

1. System packages that we don't want to have a single maintainer set to
2. Other packages that even though being orphaned only one or a few people actually maintain (like zig)
3. Packages that actually are orphaned because nobody picked them up after their maintainer stopped support

It would be neat if we could somehow find a solution so that:

• We can easily figure out which packages are actual, real orphans (number 3)
• We could ship an utility for people to figure out which packages they use which are currently not maintained by a specific person but should probably be.

What are your thoughts and ideas about this?
