Hey pingou, I've been wondering about the same thing a while back. > - Do we have a documented way to mark modules as orphaned or retired? I think we do.

I think removing maintainers from packages where all branches are inactive is a good idea. Those only add noise when querying anything, in my experience. I'd support an automatic / scripted procedure to remove all maintainers from all-branches-retired packages, if you decide to bring this to FESCo :) So long as we make sure that if any branch is still not retired we don't modify the maintainer list, I'm all for it.
