OK, thanks for the explanation. I have searched in bugzilla for bugs with "infra-retire" in whiteboard and have found, for example: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28480 I have seen he still have some bugs assigned to him and he is still present on metadata.xml. From your last comment, looks like we could start to reassign them and drop him from metadata.xml just now. Could I do that or should I be a member of retirement team?
