That's certainly appreciated. ;P

I think what we have now is a good compromise.  We continue to use the
existing emacsorphanage for org-related packages, which previously were
maintained on github anyway.  If more org-related packages are abandoned
and they already use github, then I will continue to suggest to their
maintainers to transfer them to the emacsorphanage, but let you know
about it.  For ideological reasons, packages shouldn't be *moved to*
github, but if they are already there, it seems okay to keep them there
a bit longer.

Packages that need a new home and previously were maintained somewhere
other than github, should probably be hosted on https://git.sr.ht/~bzg
for now.

Will do.
