Technically it means that new bug reports will not be assigned to any of these admins but the orphan user. It will make the support status of the package unclear for everyone looking at it. For example Luke (lmacken) does not appear to be active in Fedora anymore (IIRC there was also a non-responsive maintainer process initiated). > Is this some kind of edge case where the package was owned by > a maintainer who was inactive, and thus their packages got "orphaned", > even though there are still other maintainers? Is there any record where > we can see when or why these changes were made? Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a record anymore since pkgdb was retired. I assumed it would be visible in fedmsg/datagrepper but it does not seem to be. However, this might also mean that co-maintainer do not get a notification when a package is orphaned.
