leftover bugs against binary packages previously built from gnome/kde source packages

Dear Gnome and KDE maintainers,

please take a look at the list of "Bugs in packages maintained by no one
(packages without maintainers)"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=

These are bugs files against binary packages that are no longer in the
archive (besides misspelled ones and packages not even in Debian) and
tha BTS cannot associate them with an existing source package any longer.

I recently cleaned this list up, closing or reassigning bugs where
appropriate. Now I could use a little help from you since you better
know about the fate of some packages on this bug list: please go through
the list (while writing this, there are only 127 bugs left) and if you
find something reported against a ancient package you know about,
reassign it to a new binary package (if a package was renamed, e.g. a
library soname bump) or reassign it to it's source package or close the
bugs (if they are fixed (or no longer relevant) in a successor package
or the package was removed from Debian for good).


Thanks

Andreas
