It should be possible to make a report of packages that are bitrotted or
in danger of becoming so.
This would be done using a number of factors, but mainly just looking at
the dependency graph and seeing if it's no longer possible to build the
package using "current" versions of standard dependencies.
Additionally it can be based on build reports.
Severely bitrotted packages should have their authors notified and be
excluded from the main package index on the website.
