till commented on the pull-request: `Update fedretire to use PDC and pagure APIs.` that
you are following:
``
The worklflow used to be that maintainers can decide to orphan or retire packages. If the
package is ok in general but the maintainer does not want to maintain a package anymore or
if the maintainer is nonresponsive, the package is orphaned. This only marks the packages
as being in search of a new maintainer. If the package is not useful anymore, the
maintainer should retire it (only possible in EPEL, Rawhide and Branched (before the final
freeze)). Alternatively releng (usually me) retires packages that are orphaned for more
than 6 weeks.
