I have an idea that I'll pass by the council on the 14th.  Basically,

1) we officially contact hasufell as the council

2) wait a week

3a) if he says he is coming back, then do nothing
3b) if he says he might come back or doesn't answer then maintainers can
adopt a package at will, making themselves first maintainer and hasufell
second.  packages that are not adopted after some time can be moved to
maintainer needed
3c) if he says he won't come back ever, period, full stop, then, as sad
as it is, its open season

I don't know how much community discussion this needs, but that's what
I'm going to propose.  As may be noted a few packages there are
important and we don't want them left unmaintained while at the same
time leaving the door open.  Currently I'm baby sitting libressl and
mbedtls.
