Wearing my old Attic fart hat - something is dead when there is no one left to turn the light out. Something is inactive when it couldn't pass a vote to keep the project alive (ie: 3 +1s).
So that's one way to do this. Make a file in SVN. Put each component in it (include the sandbox perhaps). Ask everyone to vote by putting their name next to a component. Any component failing to get 3 names is a goner [aka up for debate, but the point of the debate is to convince others to add their name to the component]. Any component with zero names is a goner, kaput, deceased.

Still a pretty long list. Thoughts?
