For the fedpkg/packaged DB integration you can try this patch:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedpkg/attachment/ticket/8/0001-retire-packages-in-packagedb-as-well.patch

If you first apply http://ur1.ca/f6nkk you can run fedpkg from the git
repo directly to test it. I do not have a package to retire, therefore I
was not able to test it yet.

A script to get all retired packages from datanommer is also already
working pretty good. It only needs integration to listen on fedmsg to
get it completely automated:
