It does happens on occasion that you mistakenly upload something, or no longer use a package that nobody else does either, and decide to have it removed.

In those cases it shouldn't even require confirmation from a TU to proceed.
This task depends upon

What if another package depends on this package and you do not have a valid reason to remove it too?
Comment by Lukas Fleischer (lfleischer) - Saturday, 31 January 2015, 22:31 GMT
I think it might be a good idea to automatically accept removal requests for packages that are owned by the user who files the request and have been uploaded less than 1 hour ago.

I would prefer karol's suggestion that as long as "Required by" is "(0)" (apart from split dependencies) you should be able to remove even old packages.

I do not think it is a good idea to let users delete their old packages, even if they are not required by anything. That would allow for mass-adopting and deleting thousands of orphan packages (which is an operation that is hard to revert).

All right, well you know best.
