churchyard reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following:
``
We have just retired F30FTBFS packages. Their dependent packages didn't get any
notice. Arguably, this is not ideal.
Previously, this was solved by orphaning the FTBFS packages prior to their retirement.
This now however only happens if somebody actively tries to orphan the package (and so
far, only I have been doing that for Python 2 packages).
Instead, we could possibly generate a report of packages to be retired, similar to the
*Orphaned packages* report I send every week, the report would include dependencies. We
should start sending those cca 6 weeks before the retirement actually happens.
Adapting the orphaned packages script to fetch FTBFS packages should be trivial and
I'll hope to get to it after the Python 3.8 transition.
If you can, please assign this issue to me.
