Orphanages For Abandoned Free Software?

flea asks: "I recently went on a fishing expedition for a command-line, GPL'd document encoder/decoder for the Palm's popular DOC format. Using Google, I found lots of references to the Palm-OS-HOWTO, and a smattering of other sites, each of which refer to one of about 5 e-mail addresses for the author of the program, and a single Web site. All of the e-mail bounced back to me, and the URL is invalid. I don't have an FTP server to host the project from, and don't consider myself a very benevolent dictator, so I'd like to find a home for the source. I know there's a mechanism in place for people who want to adopt abandoned projects, but what about those of us who simply want to set the basket on the doorstep in hopes that someone competent will take it under their wing (forgive the metaphor-mixing)? If nothing else, an ftp site that can be indexed by Google so that people can FIND the source for such projects would be better than the current state of affairs."
