    I wouldn't mind, it makes me realize there are enough packages around   
   that might be just removed, orphaned or something like that. But I'm   
   not sure how good to keep these around.

    Yup, I have several packages where upstream is dead, upgrading would   
   need a lot of effort, etc. I keep them in the archives, even if   
   usually I think I should have asked for their removal.   
   Salsa and the appearance of team maintenance may just shadow that a   
   package is no longer maintained for some reason. Would you find odb if   
   it's already on Salsa?

    That sounds viable. If you have time for this, please do so.
