Details
Description: It would be really useful to have an rss feed
available of recently orphaned packages so people can
subscribe and adopt packages they know/use. It would make
orphans more visible and hopefully decrease the number of
orphaned packages.

Maybe you can write a script that will list packages that were in the repos last week but are not in the repos now. Some packages may have been renamed, merged, moved to another repo (e.g. extra2community [1] ) or removed altogether.
Bigger cleanups are usually documented: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Christmas_Cleanup
You can view the list of orphans in the repos sorted by 'Last Updated' date: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=last_update&limit=50&maintainer=orphan but not all of them can be dropped to [community] or AUR.
