You're probably confusing this with un-orphaning and un-retirement.

To orphan a package, just go to
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/PACKAGE/settings#giveproject-tab
for the PACKAGE you want to orphan, and give it to the "orphan" user.

To retire a package, just run
$ fedpkg retire 'REASON REASON REASON'
in the package's git repo with the REASON for the retirement.

However, to revert both processes, manual intervention from releng is required.
