Do maintainers have any objections to these being removed?

In general no problem, just one question:

x86_64/release/glpk/glpk-4.48-1.tar.bz2
x86_64/release/glpk/glpk-4.52-1.tar.xz
x86_64/release/glpk/glpk-debuginfo/glpk-debuginfo-4.48-1.tar.bz2
x86_64/release/glpk/glpk-debuginfo/glpk-debuginfo-4.52-1.tar.xz
x86_64/release/glpk/libglpk-devel/libglpk-devel-4.48-1.tar.bz2
x86_64/release/glpk/libglpk-devel/libglpk-devel-4.52-1.tar.xz

are there as, for example:

./glpk-4.48-1-src.tar.bz2
./glpk-4.48-1.tar.bz2
./glpk-debuginfo/glpk-debuginfo-4.48-1.tar.bz2
./libglpk-devel/libglpk-devel-4.48-1.tar.bz2
./libglpk33/libglpk33-4.48-1.tar.bz2

where all uploaded together.

Will upset complain if we leave only
./glpk-4.48-1-src.tar.bz2
./glpk-debuginfo/glpk-debuginfo-4.48-1.tar.bz2
./libglpk33/libglpk33-4.48-1.tar.bz2

No. This is actually a common case, where an old DLL ABI version (and its -src) remains for compatibility with packages which still depend on it, but the corresponding -devel/-doc/etc. eventually get pushed into stale status.
