[SoaS] Fwd: Retired Fedora packages with maintainers

[Alex Perez]

FYI. See below e-mail. There may be others in the list that I'm unaware of. Ibiam, we should probably get you set up as a maintainer
for the sugar packages listed below:

Here's a curated list of packages that are/may be relevant to us/SoaS:

rpms/sugar-analyze is retired but does not list 'orphan' in its users
rpms/sugar-analyze is retired and has the following: 'maintainers': pbrobinson, tuxbrewr, callkalpa
rpms/sugar-help is retired but does not list 'orphan' in its users
rpms/sugar-help is retired and has the following: 'maintainers': pbrobinson, callkalpa
rpms/sugar-presence-service is retired and has the following: 'maintainers': pbrobinson, tomeu

rpms/webkitgtk is retired but does not list 'orphan' in its users
rpms/webkitgtk is retired and has the following: 'maintainers': pwalter, kevin, tpopela, huzaifas, mso

> 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,
