Since last year it already kind of happens for DMs, that are removed
from the keyring. We in the MIA team still manually process all of them
before orphaning the packages, which is the much more nasty task than
you may think, given that apparently some people want to keep being in
Maintainer of stuff despite not uploading for years and having lost the
technical ability to upload years before as well (yes, I'm not kidding).
