Release Engineering has received a request to retire xchat-ruby.
Typically Release Engineering steers retirement requests back to the maintainer, however, in this case the maintainer has been unresponsive since August 2017.
Please advise Release Engineering on two fronts:
there is a documented response for a non responsive maintainer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_nonresponsive_package_maintainers so lets consider this as the start of the request for @konradm. @vondruch can you please let us know how you attempted contact?
I have not tried to contact him except the BZ. I asked @rishi while ago to resolve this, so may be he tried.
Yes, as per my conversation with @vondruch on devel@lists.fp.o, I had emailed konradm@fedoraproject.org on 31st August 2017. However, I didn't get any response.
Last koji build by konradm is 2016-03-11. Last distgit activity is around 3 years ago (I only checked octave, protobuf-c, fftw, bchunk, those seem as more known packages). Last bugzilla activity is 2017-07-21, and only sporadic before that. The bug for xchat-ruby is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486752.
I'd say we proceed with the retirement of xchat-ruby without delay, it's unlikely that Conrad is just away temporarily. For the other packages, let's go through the formal steps, i.e. a message to fedora-devel and then orphan konradm's packages.

Metadata Update from @kevin: - Issue tagged with: meeting
Looks like he's now, or has recently been, a FreeBSD dev: https://wiki.freebsd.org/ConradMeyer (see https://marc.info/?a=143632574300001&r=1&w=2 for an e-mail address and an archive of mails), unless that's just a name clash. But there too, nothing after January 2017.
AGREED: proceed immediately with retiring xchat-ruby, and open the procedure on fedora-devel for nonresponisve maintainer (+5,0,0)
ACTION: zbyszek to retire xchat-ruby and start non responsive process for developer. (nirik, 15:52:58)
Hi, I'm still around and still use Fedora daily. Looks like I haven't been getting bugzilla email, though. +1 to retiring xchat-ruby based on the bug.
Oh, I sent an e-mail to fedora-devel, also addressed to you, and it bounced. I'll reply on fedora-devel, to let people know that this is cleared up. So this ticket is done, nothing to do here.
