OK, I'll look back at ITAs as I have time. Igor's last update was in Dec.
2007 so I'd only have to look back that far.
In general I look to CV and CGF for gold star requests. Adopting an
orphaned package should generally be good for one, but if there's a
judgment involved about how active someone is being at maintaining a
package they adopted... that's starting to turn into a research project for
me. Maintaining HTML file filled with archaic tags and constructions: OK,
no problem. Researching people's package maintenance histories: no,
thanks.

Yeah, good point. I agree, we should take that part out, if there are no
objections.
