I've recently made QA uploads for the following two orphaned packages: closure-compiler tuxguitar Because lintian flagged this as "orphaned-package-maintained-in-private-space" which is an anomaly, and the packages were orphaned a long time ago, I decided to change the Vcs fields so that they point to the "debian" namespace. (I made a mistake with tuxguitar, because I naively used the fork button as a way to "copy" the repository, but then I had to ask salsa support to drop the "fork" status. AFAIK the more orthodox way to do this is to ask salsa support to move the repository first, as I did with closure-compiler later. Not sure if the proper procedure for this is documented anywhere). Anyway, you should feel free to move any of those packages again to the "java-team" namespace if a member of the team adopts any of them. On the other hand, I think it would be also ok if someone from the team adopts any of them and keeps the Vcs fields pointing at the "debian" namespace. Thanks.
