A daily process to automatically disown abandoned packages would be
great, but it needs to account for the last modified date too:

1. Find packages flagged out of date > 1 month and last modified > 1
month == Send reminder email. (Package out of date, please update).
2. Find packages flagged out of date > 2 month and last modified > 1
month == Send warning email. (Package still out of date, automatic
disown in 1 month).
3. Find packages flagged out of date > 2.75 month and last modified >
1 month == Send warning email. (Last chance!).
4. Find packages flagged out of date > 3 month and last modified > 1
month == Disown, send notification email, add comment so others who
are subscribed to comments is aware it has been disowned (You lost
it).
