Hi,
while https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/projectM-jack is retired ,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/publican-fedora and https://src.fedo raproject.org/rpms/gdesklets have the button orphan , why ?
Or better , when the package is retired by some rules like FTBFS or RetirePython2 , the package should be also orphaned . To allow other packager adopt it (IMO).
FTBFS should be orphaning for a period and then retiring.
remember:
orphan: Package looking for anyone(s) to take over maintaining it.
retired: It was orphaned for a while and no one took it over, or it is no longer suitable to maintain in fedora (python2, stack it depends on went away, obsoleted/replaced by another package, etc).
