What happened to 7 orphans?

I would not mind taking on putty and hping2/hping3 if they are really orphaned.

Are these approved, but not yet created? Or have some of these been waiting for a
very long time? If the original submitter of these packages are lost, I wouldn't
mind taking on dd_rescue and xdaliclock.

How are they still blocking when they are closed? One of those (179039) was a misfire from my browser and I
closed it as duplicate for my proper request. Is there any action that should be taken on my side?
