For these packages:

I orphaned them because the upstream versions we were using depended
on camlp4. There are newer upstream versions but they had quite
different requirements (being basically rewritten in at least the case
of Deriving).
Anyway in the meantime all 3 packages were taken by Dan Čermák
(
https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/defolos/projects).
That is correct, however I will probably orphan ocaml-deriving and
ocaml-sexplib very soon because we only need ocaml-bin-prot for infer
and I have no need for the other two packages.
However, ocaml-bin-prot was also rewritten and went through 2 versioning
changes in the meantime resulting in the current latest version being
smaller than the current version in Fedora. This will probably cause all
kinds of funny problems if I try to submit an update with a smaller
NEVRA :(
