As far as I know the FAS account "ianweller" was disabled by infra. However this account is still assigned to several packages ( https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/ianweller/projects ) and for some packages it is the only maintainer.

I'm mostly concerned about
- python-mwlib-xhtml
- python-mwlib-docbook

Both depend on python-mwlib which in turn requires pyPdf which I maintain. All of these packages are Python 2-only with either no or very little upstream activity. Therefore I would like to retire pyPdf but I can't do that unless all dependent packages are retired as well.

I had an email exchange with Iliana ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ilianaw ):

I'm almost certainly not going to have time to update it, sadly. It should probably be properly orphaned.

Consider filing a ticket to infrastructure to have that done? Like I said I can't do it because that FAS account is disabled. Paste this email to them in the ticket if you like.

Please somehow retire the packages mentioned above or force-orphan them so I can retire them. Also it would be probably a good idea to remove the old user account from all Fedora packages to avoid similar problems.

Other packages without any other maintainer:
- mediawiki116-Cite
- mediawiki116-ParserFunctions
- python-qserve

• If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?
• Fedora will continue to ship unmaintained packages.
• More Python 2 packages will be present in Fedora 30+ even though they really should be retired.
