#112 RFE: Require reason for orphaning
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by zlopez. Opened 4 years ago by till.

Orphaning a package does not require a reason in pagure-dist-git but optionally on the fedora-devel list. This makes it harder than necessary to investigate why something was orphaned. Therefore it would be great to request a reason from the maintainers when they orphan something. Ideally, this would be a list of checkbox entries with some typical reasons like

  • lack of time
  • do not use it anymore
  • unmaintained upstream
  • fails to build from source
  • important bug not fixed: ____
  • other: __

In a next step, notifications could be sent about this to the devel list that mention the reasons.


Do we want to record that reason or would sending it to the devel list be enough?

I think a record would be best so it is accessible via an API.
