Description

Maintainers go away due to various reasons and the question becomes what to do about maintainership of feedstocks.
If the feedstock has more maintainers, we just remove the maintainer.

If the feedstock has no maintainer, there are two scenarios

1. Feedstock is a leaf node
- Open an admin-request to archive the feedstock

2. Feedstock is not a leaf node.
- Open an issue in the feedstock that the feedstock is abandoned. Then cc all maintainers from downstreams.

All of this can be done as an admin-request.

Any thoughts on this @conda-forge/core ?
