Ideally that person would have some ties into the upstream development community as well. It might be worth asking there directly if anybody has any points of contact already (I don't). > 2.

I think the current way of adopting as needed and then immediately letting it fall into orphaned status again is better than doing nothing, but eventually we'll run into troublöe with that model. -- Achim.
