This seems to be a recurring proposal. I raised it 1 year ago (IIRC,
sorry I'm too lazy right now to look the reference) and Raphael
Hertzog pointed out to me that way before he advanced the same
proposal.
The counter-argument I received 1 year ago is that we do not want to
make any easier to "maintain" orphaned packages, e.g., via QA
uploads. While I somehow understand that point of view, I still
consider the proposal a good idea, mainly because it technically
facilitates resurrecting the packages for the future maintainer.
Cheers.
