It says here:
1.
Packages, which need a new maintainer (orphaned packages). A
package may need to be dropped from the distribution when it
contains security vulnerabilities, gets out-of-date too much
and/or becomes incompatible with build dependencies.
And it seems to me that JOnAS and its dependencies fit into this
category, having been dropped mainly because of dbuild dependency
issues. I doubt very much that any of these packages can reasonably
be described as "new submissions" -- if build problems hadn't cropped
up they would have been in FC5.
But on the other hand, they never made it into FC5.
I don't mind, really, as long as the work involved in pushing these 30
packages into extras isn't great.
Andrew.
