This thread really needs to be put to a conclusion as policy and procedure. On
the table we have:
Suspension would include:
-- disable the mailing lists (no need to moderate)
-- disable commit access (no need to review changes)
-- change the index of projects
The idea being to both flag it as dormant, and to remove the oversight
requirements that we have, by disabling anything requiring oversight.
There seems to be some disagreement over the word "suspend", which is being
used in reference to an existing dormant state, not sending someone to the Headmaster's
office to be removed from school.
what about "pause" ? I'm not spotting negative overtones in any of the
dictionaries I've consulted. A pause button icon could flag a project
that is currently inactive.
just a thought,

p.s. did any doctors of middle english weigh in?
There also seems to be a disagreement over the idea that inactive projects
don't require oversight, but I feel that if we don't close the mailing lists,
they will not be properly moderated (moderators still have to wade through spam
looking for any faint signal), and people would wonder why they send messages
that get lost. And we don't want to miss commit messages. It is best to
structureally disable the resources than to trust in lack of use.
