I don't think FESCo can be helpful when discussing the
implementation details of retirement. Essentially, when somebody says "fedpkg retire
foo", foo should be gone, whatever that means.
fedpkg retire foo will retire the particular branch, one can do this for the master branch
for an EPEL only package and the expectation would be that the committers stay, since they
still need to manage EPEL packages. retiring an orphaned package is a special case here.
Whether or not committers are removed is less a technical decision (implementation detail)
but a policy question, therefore FESCo makes sense since all the remaining retiring of
orphaned packages discussion happened there.
I think it is reasonable to remove committers. On the one hand,
existing committers are obviously not interested in the package. And if the package is
ever unretired, we expect to put in a new set of committers. On the other hand, removing
existing committers — and in particular groups — helps ensure that no accidental
modifications will be pushed.
This would make sense when the last branch is retired/becomes EOL.
