Play around with this. From the Debian Weekly News:
Discovering neglected Packages. Thomas Huriaux wrote a number of scripts to discover packages that have been neglected by their maintainers. The output should help developers to decide which package to help working on. The list is sorted by the number of bugs, date of the last maintainer upload, number of non-maintainer uploads and the number of release-critical bugs.
I think the MIA reporting page over does it when it lists people who have uploaded 3 days ago. Bug reports by bugs reported by Dan Jacobson should also be ignored, to begin with. I have had upstreams to come to the Debian BTS and tag bugs by him as "wontfix". He has a point. Too many times a day.
Anyway, Thomas, you made my day. Kudos!
