My reading of the wiki is that if the package is orphaned for less than
10 days, a bugzilla should be opened so that it can be discussed on the
list before ownership is taken.

Well, actually it says

"For a package that is listed here for less than 10 days, volunteers for
package ownership are collected here for a week. This gives some time
for discussing (also among the volunteers) which of multiple volunteers
will be the primary package owner or how to team up."

The discussion bit for packages orphaned less than 10 days seems to
imply a bugzilla to me, as the wiki page isn't really set up for
discussion, but :shrug:
