This is still inherently flawed and unsafe because you have absolutely no
way of guaranteeing that the notification mail actually reached the
maintainer, only that it has been sent. E-mail is not a certified delivery
mechanism.
The whole concept of opt-out deletion is inherently flawed. It is
unacceptable to delete user data without explicit confirmation.
And of course, the fix comes too late for the repositories that you folks
already irremediably destroyed with your deletion rampage. E.g., the latest
release of Kannolo, Kannolo 27, is now missing one of its default
repositories and I have no way to fix that (and neither do you, for that
matter – the only way the problem could be solved would be to allow building
for Fedora 27 again, then I could simply build the packages again).
