OK. But it probably wouldn't be "occasional". From a quick look, we
have currently ~500 packages not associated to a developer, so about
1/4 of all packages we have.

But currently, we indeed don't notice when there is a build failure on
a package that is orphaned. Having at least you notified on orphaned
packages build failures would raise the attention on this or that
package being orphaned, and then we can see what needs to be done: find
if someone has been active on that package recently and is willing to
adopt it, remove the package if it's too broken and nobody cares, etc.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Thomas
