Yes, you have almost got what I want. I know of both line comments in the pull interface, and raising DeprecationWarnings. The problem with the warnings that they only want to get used when you have an alternate in place and want to remove old code soon. The problem here lies in not knowing how long the life-cycle will last for an indeterminate amount of time, such as numpy-1.5 here, or python-2.7. Lots of such items can stack up, and easily get forgotten about, as we see here.

You can comment on specific lines of code in the pull request interface, but that's not what I think you're describing. A better practice, IMO is to raise a DeprecationWarning when the soon-to-be-removed code is executed. Then you can just grep for those and get cracking.

    Slightly off-topic, does github allow for one to tag lines/code-blocks
    with notes to the future like ``numpy1.5 removal'', similar to
    tags for
    issues and milestones?  This would save us from trawling through the
    code looking for comments.  If github does not have this feature,
    do you
    think github would add that as a feature if asked?
