Note, I'm not a sysadmin but I can see the Status dropdown for this package, with values "active" and "deleted". Not knowing much about the permission system, I was assuming that's because I created the package.

I am however certain that I did not modify (or even notice) this dropdown in the mysterious edit that led to the state change from "active" to "None".

I believe the initial report is incorrect. It states that the status was changed from "active" to "deleted". I believe that it was actually changed from "active" to "None".

This might indicate a bug in the code: The value of the status field is lost.

To add to this ticket I note that package 'owners' are entitled to see State not just system sysadmins (this allows owners to delete packages).

This is most likely fixed in the new logic layer refactor but is more than 6 months old anyway so closing in line with our new ticketing policy.
