This is really silly, why can't we just unretire the 2 or 3 packages which 
were noticed the day they were retired and got an interested maintainer now? 
(iwidgets was one of them, but I've seen mails about 1 or 2 others here.) 
The reason a rereview is required for retired packages is because packages 
tend to bitrot if orphaned for a long time, but this is NOT the situation 
here. This is just completely pointless red tape making things a PITA for NO 
reason whatsoever.
