[releng] Issue #8636: Remove BleachBit package from Fedora releases where Python2 was removed

[Andrew Toskin]

terrycloth reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this -- I don't want to retire BleachBit entirely
just yet, but it relies on Python2. The upstream developers are working on porting to
Python3, but there's no published estimate on when that will finish.

In the meanwhile, in Rawhide and I think maybe F31, Python2-based packages are being
removed. I have gotten [a report of BleachBit failing to
install](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1739899) because the dependency
`gnome-python2` is missing. I would have thought the package should have just failed to
build in Koji if that were the case. But wherever Python2 packages are being removed,
BleachBit should also be removed, at least until the Python3 conversion finishes.

@terrycloth We can retire it for F31 and F32 for now and when the upstream is ready, you
can request for unretirement and we will unretire it for you, is that what you want?

Note: If its retired for more than 8 weeks, then you need to submit a review request
again.

I don't really *want* to retire the package, especially if it will likely mean having
to do a new package review when the upstream finally finishes porting to Python 3. But
unless we can make an exception for all of BleachBit's Python 2 dependencies, *and*
figure out how to get `gnome-python2` building again, I figured retiring it would be
necessary.

You'd probably know better than me what's best in this situation.

@terrycloth I think we could leave it as is for now and it will get retired if its still
in failed to build state before next mass branching. I hope it will be fixed by then and
you can build it and no action is needed, if the work is not done by then, it will get
retired automatically and you have to do a review request to package it again.

Closing this ticket and please open it if anything is required from us.

Thanks.
