I think you did not. I added him now.

I am not sure if I understand. May you elaborate?

Do you have any specific packages in mind?

Not sure about emacsorphanage side, but for things we decide to manage
on sr.ht, we can all discuss new maintainers on this mailing list. The
maintenance requests should also go here.

We may need to update https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html,
similar to:

    Maintain an Org file: If a file in the git repository does not have a
    maintainer 1 and you want to help by maintaining it, please read more on
    how Org is maintained and let us know by sending an email to the mailing
    list.

but for orphaned packages specifically.

The information about how to apply to be a maintainer may also be added
to org-orphanage WORG page.

I think you can participate in issue discussion for the existing
orphaned packages first. (The problem is that you do not have a record
contributing to Emacs/Org mode. I can only see two trivial commits
64d211179db and a70a3449417 in Emacs)
