"Retire package" is for when you want to completely remove a package from 
the distribution, it was the "big red button" you were not supposed to hit. 
Now only a cvsadmin can fix your mess. But you'd have needed an admin anyway 
to reassign ownership directly and thus bypass this "automatically reassign 
to the comaintainer" "feature".
