Well, it may not be official authority, but de-facto RM: for orphaned packages is well in the realm and it is just as well to file RM: instead of O: if the QA worker decides that the package is obsolete. The PROP_RM is a good process to give people a chance to object, but that is only for when there is someone to object. That said, I don't have to say much about the guidelines: If anyone else had put forward the question, I'd have said "go ask Barry", because I think that your RM bugs come with the required research properly done. So if you, Barry, want to put up a wiki page about how you currently do it, that would make good guidelines for whoever you recruit to help you.
