I would be happy to help with administration here.   I have a GitHub
account, as well as commit on bastian's sr.ht.

In fact, I wonder if worg curators should have some general
responsibilities to help with the orphanage.

Speaking for myself, I can help:
- send the various "let me know" emails discussed in this thread
- suggest packages that need love to (prospective) volunteers
- review the bonafides (experience/involvement and, via Eli/SM,
assignment status ) for prospective adopting maintainers
- assign permissions
- move repos
- apply well tested patches to orphaned packages

Of course, I understand and won't be offended should be more comfort
all around if Bastian and Igor take care of some or all of this
personally.

Irrespective of whether worg curators should help with this (or some
other vols, or just the org maintainers, or...), I think it would make
sense to document these "responsibilities" (and the detail of the
plans made in this thread, in general), along with the whos and hows.
