Orphaning three packages officially

Hi all.

After my laptop was stolen, I asked for the removal of my access from
Fedora Extras as there were copies of the keys on the laptop and
brute-force attempts could have been used against them to get the
password and then compromise things on Extras.

Thanks to Thorsten, I now have the access back. In the meanwhile, FC6
was getting released and I could not rebuild my packages for the
deadline. Some of you helped rebuild these, and some even took
maintainership, for which I would like to thank you for.

I just de-orphaned the packages that were automatically orphaned because
of my keylessness, but will need to orphan three of them anyway, as two
appear to be silent upstream and I don't use them anymore, and one is
specific to my lost Sony VAIO laptops.

The packages orphaned are:
gtranslator
spicctrl
ttf2pt1

Also, if anyone wants to take maintainership of t1lib and t1utils
(José?) please feel free. I don't use these much and would appreciate
someone more familiar with them to take care of them.
