Yes we can! ;) Not a straight forward Mantis feature, though.

What we could do is add a dummy user account in Mantis with the
maintainers list address as email address. Phil has the information on
which packages have a retired maintainer, so he could then generate a
list of these packages and assign the Mantis dummy account to them in an
automated way.

Phil, what do you think? Feasible from your side (i guess a couple of
adjustments to your user management scripts would be necessary)?
