Sigh, I just saw this...
I have been super-busy and missed the mails unfortunately.

I don't fully understand the process - if an "orphaned" package has a
comaintainer, are we sure it is really orphaned?
Yes. If it's orphaned, the comaintainer should claim it if they want it.
Orphaned packages:
ghc-fgl orphan, petersen 59 weeks ago
I recently unretired this package last year. :-(
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1585448
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7549
Yet it was orphaned. If this was done by some infra error, please report that.
ghc-hgettext orphan, pwithnall 46 weeks ago
ghc-pcap orphan, pwithnall 46 weeks ago
ghc-setlocale orphan, pwithnall 46 weeks ago
These are all BRs of bustle.
I wouldn't have considered the above packages orphaned and did not wish them to
be retired.
Yet they were orphaned.
Also note in F30 Rawhide and current f29-updates, Haskell executable packages
are now statically linked to Haskell libraries (for better portability).
(This also means less deps breakage but also makes deps harder to detect
directly like this.)
Does the orphan script take BuildRequires into account? Presumably
Yes.
Sorry to moan but to me 6 weeks is really a short time.
If things are not broken, do we really need to make more work for ourselves and
break them?
If things are not maintained, we should get rid of them. If you don't like the
policy, feel free to start a discussion about how it can be better.
In this case those packages have been orphaned for months, so not sure if "6
weeks is really a short time" applies here at all.
