If we have to wait for 5.0, that would be good to know too. One of the difficulties in someone else providing a patch for this is that it's difficult to test unless you have admin bugzilla privileges. The github issue above gives some simple psuedo code for how the implementation should look. The python-bugzilla/bugzilla XMLRPC side is correct AFAICT (I'm python-bugzilla maintainer and can help if there's any issues). But if someone from pkgdb side could give an example of how to query for fully retired packages, that would help. Even if it's not part of pkgdb in the short term, if there's a way to do that query now I'd be happy to send a request to bugzilla admins to manually hide all the long retired components.
