I have to say I am not really enjoying this ongoing aggressive package retirement process.
If packages are not broken and needed by other packages, then I don't see why we are hurrying to break things.
I think a better process might be for maintainers orphaning packages to contact dependent package maintainers directly asking them to take over the package they want to drop.

The orphaning procedure [1] states: "5. Announce on devel which package you orphaned, so that others have a chance to take over as maintainer." This sounds reasonable to me, close to what you propose.

In theory yes, but in practice I am rather more likely to notice a direct private mail than a mailing list post.


I understand your point. OTOH, send email to devel is significantly easier then listing dependent packages and emailing their maintainers.

I had another idea: delegating the retirement of packages to SIGs when appropriate, but of course that may requires a clearer mapping of SIG packages.
