Freecad is looking for new maintainers

[Graham Inggs]

Hi Adam

Please let us know if you intend maintaining the freecad package going 
forward.

Teemu and Anton will no longer be maintaining it (see below), so if you 
won't be maintaining it, I agree with Sébastien that orphaning the 
package would better match reality.

Regards
Graham
