[releng] Issue #7311: Cleanup repositories with "dead.package"

[Igor Gnatenko]

ignatenkobrain reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
It would be very nice if you could set up automatic removal of all files except
`dead.package` for repositories. Since `rpm-specs-latest.tar.xz` is not updated very
often, I try to run grep on all git repositories, but unfortunately there are packages
which are dead but still have spec file in there. I know that I could filter all such
packages, but I think it would be better to clean them up anyway.

I thought fedpkg retire does that for you automatically, doesn't it?

It does, but as far as I understood it seems some of the branches have both spec and
dead.package files. Not sure how that happened.

If the packagers added the ``dead.package`` file automatically instead of using ``fedpkg
retire`` would be one way to have that.

@ausil and @mohanboddu this seems to me like a clean up task and should probably get
prioritized into our Taiga instance as long term work.

Is that amenable?  Then we can prioritize it and get it scheduled.

A request here is not appropriate, It should go to taiga, we will have to find development
resources for it. @syeghiay can we please have this moved over. @ralph which team would be
best to make the request of for development resources?

Yes, fedpkg retire does this... But there **are** repos where it didn't happen. And
this ticket is about cleaning them.

Please reopen.

Do you have a list of these repos? I suspect it's pretty rare and we could just clean
the old ones up and only have to do it again rarely on demand...
