Description

Currently the maintainer of a package can set it as deprecated.

But there are sometimes the issue that the maintainer of a _widely used package_ is not responding and the bundle itself is deprecated.

I think there should be an option to report an package as "maybe deprecated" or "the maintainer does not respond". There should be a guideline how this issue will be handled.

Ideas:
1. Only packages which are not updated for X months should be reportable.
2. If a package is reported the maintainer will get an notification.

What do you think about it? What is the current situation to handle this issue?
