Did you at least check if the packages were used by something else?

No, and that doesn't interest me at all. I am not doing EPEL packaging,
and I consider it inacceptable that somebody assigns five years old EPEL
tickets to me and expects me to handle the tickets as well as the packages.
That's because per-branch maintainership is no longer
"supported", as
mentioned on recent other threads.
That doesn't sound good.
Is it anything final that has been communicated on devel-announce list
in a clear way? Or is it buried beneath hundreds to thousands of posts
on devel list?
It seems the "support" in PkgDB was also a "lie",
because BugZilla
doesn't even support default assignees per-branch.
It just worked, and when somebody opened a ticket about an EPEL package,
the EPEL-specific maintainer became the assignee _by default_. Whether
bugzilla knows a separate "default assignee" is beyond my interest,
unless somebody or some script reassigns tickets to me which are not of
my concern.
