I think it would be inappropriate to send public notices about retiring
maintainers without their explicit permission. In some cases, they may
be retiring for reasons that they don't want to make public and would
prefer to not draw attention to it, or may not wish to answer questions
or have their retirement show up in searches.
I'm all in favor of thanking people for their contributions, but I don't
want to do so at the cost of their privacy. It's not uncommon for
projects to make new membership public but keep retirements private for
similar reasons.
Of course, if someone doesn't mind or would like the public
acknowledgement, I'd be all in favor of it. But I'm not sure if it's
worth the effort to gather that information.
