Not that I know of. Feel free to keep owning it; what we're going to
do is send a mail to package owners suggesting that you orphan it,

gnome-sig git permissions, though, since the upstream repo is
archived and the project is dead.
Hm, looks like seahorse-nautilus depends on libcryptui, which is yet
another archived GNOME project. It would be a shame to keep this old
unmaintained library around forever. But libcryptui is not on my list
of obsolete packages because gnome-sig does not have commit access to
it.
Fedora is biased towards keeping old things. If you want to own an
obsolete package and keep it alive in the distro forever, you can. Old
libraries annoy me and I wish we could get rid of them, but nobody will
stop you from keeping it alive if you want to do so.

I suggest we agree to make libsoup an exception though. That one is too
great a risk to Fedora users. I actually did file a change proposal to
remove that:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/libsoup_3:_Part_Two
But it was rejected. Well, it's been 3 years and the list of
dependencies is much smaller now:

Hopefully we can orphan libsoup and avoid anybody else taking ownership
of it.
