Milestone
Can we use a special string to mark packages as deprecated / unsupported in the owners file? If someone sends a review for the project, we can just have GopherBot send an automated message letting the contributor know.
I was inspired by https://golang.org/cl/225297, where I almost merged a change for code that's been unsupported since 1.5. For context, I'm not familiar with most of the packages in x/tools, but I check GitHub PRs biweekly to make sure they get assigned reviewers (due to #31658). This change looked simple enough to merge, and I only didn't because I decided to attempt to figure out who the owner for that package was (the lack of owners for x/tools is a whole separate issue I hope to tackle one day...).
