The package can still be brought back, but now requires a review.
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.
