Can we get retired packages out of the active Bugzilla component list?
If they are completely retired, yeah, this might be possible.
I just created a bug for a retired package and had to fix it...
Bugzilla allows components to be disabled rather than deleted in case the bugs need to be searched for or a package comes out of retirement.
Unfortunately the only way I see to automate this process is the REST API in 5.0.
We use python-bugzilla to interface with bugzilla.
Specfically this script: http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/roles/pkgdb2/f...
So, we would need to enhance this script to handle the case of a package being retired in all branches in a product. Note that if they have any active branches we can't do this as at least the change I see via the interface is per component.
Anyhow, if someone can see how to do this/provide patches sounds like a great idea. If we have to wait for 5.0, that would be good to know too.
