Sigh, I just saw this...

I have been super-busy and missed the mails unfortunately.

I don't fully understand the process - if an "orphaned" package has a
comaintainer, are we sure it is really orphaned?

I recently unretired this package last year. :-(

These are all BRs of bustle.

I wouldn't have considered the above packages orphaned and did not wish
them to be retired.

Also note in F30 Rawhide and current f29-updates, Haskell executable
packages are now statically linked to Haskell libraries (for better
portability).
(This also means less deps breakage but also makes deps harder to detect
directly like this.)

Does the orphan script take BuildRequires into account? Presumably


Sorry to moan but to me 6 weeks is really a short time.
If things are not broken, do we really need to make more work for ourselves
and break them?

Thanks, Jens
