Too late for Fedora 31, but you can retire them from Rawhide for F32 onward.
Alternatively, you may choose to orphan it so that someone else can
take it over, and if nobody does, it'll be auto-retired.
The process for orphaning/retiring is manual right now, but I believe
that will be fixed with the next Pagure upgrade. For now, you need to
file a releng ticket.
You're probably confusing this with un-orphaning and un-retirement.
To orphan a package, just go to
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/PACKAGE/settings#giveproject-tab
for the PACKAGE you want to orphan, and give it to the "orphan" user.
To retire a package, just run
$ fedpkg retire 'REASON REASON REASON'
in the package's git repo with the REASON for the retirement.
However, to revert both processes, manual intervention from releng is required.
