Here is an updated list based on some search I've done in the free section.

arcem new_maintainer new_release
basilisk2 new maintainer
blcr blcr-kmod new_maintainer new_release
elisa-plugins-ugly orphaned
em8300-kmod upstream issues with v4l1
iscsitarget iscsitarget-kmod new_release new_maintainer
nailer (still reference a weird conflicts with totem because of
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497264 ).
ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-kmod new_release new_maintainer
omnibook omnibook-kmod new_release new_maintainer

From, at least, the last 2 packages, some new maintainers has
volunteered, but so far, nothing has hit the repository. I will delete
the account of theses users if I have no answer from them soon.
If you volunteer to maintain a package from this list, please at least
provide a diff from the previous srpm, and try to have a look on the
existing opened bugs.

I will only orphan the packages that has dependency issue in the f16
repository before branching.
Please step up before tuesday 25th if you still need theses.

Thx

Nicolas (kwizart)
