There's a lot of noise on this list, and those emails are information
overload. The fact that a particular package is affected is easily
overlooked. It'd be nice if a notice could be shown in pkgdb to indicate
that a particular package has dependencies in a problematic state. It'd
also be nice if each package has its own list or notification feeds.
I might get to send smaller e-mails to each person eventually, but in
the meantime the e-mails are not only sent to the list but also to each
affected (co)maintainer individually. Therefore getting the e-mail
directly is indicates that one will be affected by the retirement and
searching for ones FAS name in the e-mail shows which package needs to
be adopted.
Kind regards
