Very well, I have reassigned Conduit to jc2k. I'm looking at SynCE now;
it was registered by
https://edge.launchpad.net/~marceloshima
who is an active Ubuntu member, but I'm not sure he wants to maintain
the information. Are you an upstream developer for these projects, or
alternatively, would you like to volunteer to keep the information up to
date?
I see you also inquired about PPAs; note that PPAs are independent of
upstreams, and that you can register your own PPA (or create a team PPA)
and use that without any administrative relationship with the projects.

PPAs are no longer exclusive to beta members, but let me know if your
request is still pending.
