https://github.com/flexibeast/org-vcard page explicitly says that it is
looking for a new maintainer at least since 9 months ago. (The author is
in CC for this thread)

The author (also CCed) of https://github.com/nikclayton/ob-sql-mode
explicitly asked for help 8 months ago in
https://list.orgmode.org/CAKJTzL5bdw=vCBk0S9O3DFh2FkASro3m++wHqMhCp9ObaphSdg@mail.gmail.com/T/#u
We got no volunteers.

It will be a good idea to document these things in WORG as well. Under a
separate section in org-orphanage.org like "I want to volunteer
maintaining a package from this list".
