If they are completely retired, yeah, this might be possible.

We use python-bugzilla to interface with bugzilla. 

Specfically this script: 
http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/roles/pkgdb2/files/pkgdb-sync-bugzilla

So, we would need to enhance this script to handle the case of a
package being retired in all branches in a product. Note that if they
have any active branches we can't do this as at least the change I see
via the interface is per component. 

Anyhow, if someone can see how to do this/provide patches sounds like a
great idea. If we have to wait for 5.0, that would be good to know too.
