Otherwise, I would rather VERY MUCH encourage TUs to have a look at the packages in EXTRA that are currently orphaned, and to contact the devs if you are interested to maintain some of them in community. There are many more important packages there that would deserve to be maintained in community than being orphaned in extra.
That's it for now.

Little thing here: Never add 32bit binaries into 64bit system on community front (nspluginwrapper above), libs are kinda ok. Atleast I strongly disagree on adding them.

I totally agree. I simply gave a list of packages with a large number of votes or high pkgstats numbers, so that we might consider them as potential candidates for community. My point was simply that I don't think there is more than a dozen of packages currently in unsupported that deserve to be moved to community. I may err though. But as I wrote, there are more important packages in extra that are orphaned and would be suitable for community. F
