I think you can use wnpp-alert (from devscripts package) to see which
package you use is orphaned and its state [O] [RFA]

Should we just remove openwebmail?

Hi, openwebmail is orphaned, but has only been so for 32 days. That said, it's got security issues, and hasn't been part of a stable release. So I'm personally inclined not to let it linger for a while on the grounds that it's got security issues, and just get it the hell out of the archive. It's not like Debian's short of webmail packages. That said, a non-DD has prepared an updated package as of a week ago, but no one has sponsored it yet. Just wondering what peoples' thoughts are? regards Andrew
