To play the devil's advocate a bit, if we automate it without requiring announce
we end up without any additional info about reasons why package was orphaned.
So I'd say announce mail could probably go from "MUST" to "Nice to
have". I.e.
please explain to prospective new maintainers what to be aware of.
Anyway, I am a fan of automation so +1 to this whole thing at least as a test
run. It's not visible from your example output, but if the owner just changed
from person A to person B instead to orphan, it would be 1 change instead of
A->orphan, orphan->B correct?
If both happened in the period considered yes
I would probably say daily reports would be overkill. Weekly could be
perhaps
too long? If I think about it I'd probably invent some crazy complicated stuff
so...just pick some schedule and be prepared to change if people complain :-)
That's easy enough to adjust but should also be easy enough to set a
filter to ignore it :)
Thanks for the feedback,
