Description

Notify manifest authors before deleting the last manifest for a package

As a package manifest author I want to be informed before the package is deleted when automation determines no installer is available.

When the pipelines determine the final manifest for a package is invalid, the body of the Issue should @mention authors to let them know a package is about to be removed.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the pipelines that determine when the final manifest is invalid and generate automated deletion Issues; trace how manifest authors are available there. Done means the generated Issue mentions the previous manifest authors before the package is removed.
