Verification

Provide a detailed description of the proposed feature

In the past, @iMichka and me have run some version of the script in: Homebrew/homebrew-core#103904 to automatically disable old deprecated formulae. This of course requires humans, and should probably be automated instead.

What is the motivation for the feature?

Humans (mostly me) are unreliable and should be replaced by bots.

How will the feature be relevant to at least 90% of Homebrew users?

People really love having their software disabled, so we should do it more regularly.

What alternatives to the feature have been considered?

Keeping the unreliable humans

How do you define deprecated?

It has the deprecate! statement and upstream has designated it deprecated or it meets: https://docs.brew.sh/Deprecating-Disabling-and-Removing-Formulae#deprecate-and-disable-reasons
