Thanks for looking into this.

Two points:

- Shall we remove all 32b-bit only orphaned packages for which we don't
  get a maintainer until, say, end of August?

- We should probably consider to remove the mingw.org packages.  All
  of them.  They are hopelessly outdated and mingw-w64 does the same
  job better hands down.
