Apache makes sense - it's a bit of a mammoth with complex packaging (as different components arrive in different packages). A cruise through the relevant list thread shows he's looking for a gradual handover, soliciting help, but being suitably picky about who takes over (eg, eagerness isn't the only job requirement).

Do click on the package titles to go through to the relevant thread. For most the packages you'd be worried about, what you'll see is either a well-reasoned handover of responsibilities, or a simple call for help.

(Or just look at the 'type' column - RFH is Request for Help, RFA is Request for Adoption. Important or complicated packages looking for more team members isn't a panic.)

Neither of those are listed as O(rphaned), they're RFA/RFH.
