The CRAN policy page (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html) implies that there is a formal procedure for orphaning a package but none is mentioned in the Extensions manual (https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html).
This page (https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Orphaned/README) implies that one would simply resubmit the package to CRAN with the text "ORPHANED" in the `Maintainer` field. Is this the case? If this is not documented somewhere, can it be added to the Extensions manual?
