+Maybe a better idea, would to have "[orphan alert]" (or something 
+similar) in the subject of postes to the mageia-dev list.  That way no 
+need to subscribe to another mailing list, and those particularly 
+interested in orphaned packages could filter their messages to put these 
+in a separate folder.
+And of course, everyone interested in packaging/development would see 
+these posts.
+
+Just an idea :)
