I would suggest adding any artificial e-mail to Maintainer instead of passing ORPHANED

Now only the stable version can be installed from DRAT

options(repos = c(getOption("repos"), "http://cloudyr.github.io/drat"))
renv::install("aws.ec2")
library(aws.ec2)

Maintainer: ORPHANED is how CRAN officially does it (e.g. another example https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/biclust/). Because of this, I think this is something that should be handled by renv::install(<git-repos>). I would report this upstream/there.
