Great, thanks for the clarification on the packages below, as well as
the webkit2gtk3 package names.

>> Good Morning Everyone,
>>
>> A little while ago we have received the request on the infra issue
>> tracker to
>> remove all maintainers of retired packages [1].
>>
>> So today I decided to look at what this would look like and wrote a
>> script that
>> queries PDC for the list of all branches on all projects [2], gather
>> from it a
>> list of all the packages that are retired on all their branches (so
>> all branches
>> are ``active=false``).
>> For each of these retired project, it queries dist-git to find out if
>> they still
>> have maintainers in addition to the ``orphan`` user.
>>
>> The outcome of this script can be found there:
>>
>> https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/retired_packages_with_maintainers.log
>>
>>
>> Some stats about this:
>> - 881 RPM packages are retired and still have maintainers (out of
>> 4322 retired
>> RPMs).
>> - 662 of them are not orphaned
>> - 42 modules are retired and still have maintainers (out of 42
>> retired modules).
>> - all of them are not orphaned
>> - 2 containers are retired and still have maintainers (out of 3 retired
>> containers).
>> - all of them are not orphaned
>>
>> Which brings a couple of questions:
>> - Do we have a documented way to mark modules as orphaned or retired?
>> - Should we orphan all the RPM packages that are retired but not
>> orphaned?
>>
>>
>> Finally, does everyone agree about the original request: "remove all
>> maintainers
>> of retired packages"? Or should we bring this to FESCo?
>>
>>
>> Thanks for your inputs,
