The section upstream_release_monitoring [1] is no longer relevant. Executing fedpkg retire DESC command does it automatically for the maintainer.
fedpkg retire DESC
[1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/#upstream_release_monitoring
Does it really remove the Fedora package name from a project at release-monitoring.org, or does it disable the package in Fedora's new-hotness, i.e. creating bug reports in Bugzilla? Do you have any pointer to what everything "fedpkg retire" does?
I've tried to remove the project from release-monitoring.org, but I couldn’t do so. The only thing I was able to do is to disable it from the package itself (which is done automatically by the fedpkg retire command).
fedpkg retire
Do you know how can one remove the project entirely from the monitoring? If so, that would be worth documenting in the mentioned section.
I don't think we remove software from the list at release-monitoring.org, since that is not a Fedora specific service. Turning off "monitoring" on our end is as far as we go.
So it's as I thought. "fedpkg retire" changes new-hotness at src.fedoraprojet.org. Not anitya at release-monitoring.org.
A removal a package mapping from release-monitoring.com is done with "flag" button.
I we do not consider cleaning old mappings from release-monitoring.org important, we should remove the section from the documentation as requested. I'm for removing the documentation.
+1, that makes sense to me too.
