Fwiw, I tried this earlier today and it threw errors when trying to do
the pkgdb orphan step:

remote: Emitting a message to the fedmsg bus.
To ssh://jwboyer@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/ql2100-firmware
   37373c3..08b4818  master -> master
Error: Auth was requested but no way to perform auth was given.
Please set username and password or session_id before calling this
function with auth=True
Could not retire package: Command '['pkgdb-cli', 'orphan', '--retire',
'ql2100-firmware', 'devel']' returned non-zero exit status 5
[jwboyer at zod ql2100-firmware]$

I also tried running the pkgdb-cli command by itself with --user and
--password specified, but that didn't work either.
