Ok, will do, thanks. Another question regarding the "Retired" status. What's the difference between packages managed by a retired maintainer and orphaned packages? To me it feels the same. Do we have a page like [1] that shows all the packages that are either orphaned or managed by a retired maintainer? This way new maintainers like me could just have a look at that one to find some packages to take care of.
