Seems that things are getting even worse. I found the only way to

"Retire package" is for when you want to completely remove a package from
the distribution, it was the "big red button" you were not supposed to hit.
Now only a cvsadmin can fix your mess. But you'd have needed an admin anyway
to reassign ownership directly and thus bypass this "automatically reassign
to the comaintainer" "feature".
