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.
File a ticket with FESCo with your proposed change in the policy.
