Really?!
Congratulations, you have just explained why absentee maintainers are
bad and why we orphan things.
It is unmaintained for over 10 years.
It has been forked into Geeqie (package "geeqie") roughly 10 years
ago, and Geeqie at least has seen several releases since then.
Perhaps just take gqview and retire it then?

Shouldn't it be retired automatically when no one takes it?

I haven't seen the "Orphaned Packages in rawhide" since September. My
guess is that the script got broken by deprecation of PkgDb and move to
Pagure.

Yes, with this change we lost the possibility to track the orphan status
for individual branches. This is tracked here:

Actually Michael retired in 2010 for Fedora. jcapik maintained it in
EPEL 6 according to pkgdb [0]. This inofrmation does not seem to have been
migrated afaics:
https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/raw/master/f/rpms/gqview
should say that jcapik receives the EPEL but reports but it does not
AFAIU.

No. I've only shown how surprised I am to discover that it is an orphan
in the Fedora package collection for many years. Or that maybe somebody
has adapted it despite the dead.package message I had added many years
ago:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/gqview.git/plain/dead.package
Till Maas has found the culprit apparently.

The wiki page us pretty clear, you just need to file a ticket with RelEng, see
an example here https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7273
When they accept your request, you then have full control of the package and
manage it like any other one with fedpkg.
it means that we should install fedrepo-req
You should have fedrepo-req installed for creating new package repo and new
branches. Since it is an orphaned package, it already has existing branches
and you probably won't need to create new ones. Unless you want to add it to
EPEL.
Anyhow it would be a good thing for you to learn how to use this tool. There's
a howto on Pagure https://pagure.io/fedrepo_req
Typically for a new package you do:
$ fedrepo-req -t [Review Request Bug Number] -m [Type of Monitoring] [Package
Name] [Optional Additional Branch]
For example:
$ fedrepo-req -t 1508126 -m monitoring-with-scratch micro f27
Then you may need to request additional branches, like F26 or EPEL7. For that
you need to use fedrepo-req-branch
$ fedrepo-req-branch [Package Name] [Additional Branch]
For example:
$ fedrepo-req-branch micro f26
Then you wait for the ticket to be processed by Gwyn Cierla at https://
pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issues It's pretty fast usually.

From the very qmail you are quoting:
"If you are interested in becoming the point of contact for these, please
note it in the appropriate ticket below for quickest processing.
(no need to reopen the ticket, just add your fas name and what packages

"
Just do that?

Ah, it seems zbyszek already requested gpm. Can you just drop him an
email and I'm sure he would be happy to add you as a comaintainer.

No need, I already saw this thread and added SĂ©rgio.
