Dear -devel list,

(Please forward this email to proper mailing lists if there's other lists that
this email would suit in better.)

I noticed that for all bug reports that orphan a package in Debian, a semi-
standard paragraph of words will be provided like this:

========

...Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly....

========

However, https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o provides almost zero
information for an enthusiast that want to adopt the package, i.e. there's no
detailed instruction on how to actually upload a package for a person not
quite familiar with Debian's packaging workflow.

I'd suggest some kind of rewording on the website given that this link has
been posted everywhere in different BTS bug reports. Including a link to 
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers might be a good idea. Anyway any
kind of improvement would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
