Retiring a part of a top level project is much easier than retiring the TLP itself. We have created a "process" while archiving EasyAnt & Co: http://ant.apache.org/processes.html#Retire%20a%20subproject%20or%20component Basically * PMC vote for retiring the thing * make resources read-only (code, mailinglists, issue tracker) * clear all resources (build jobs) * make it public (homepage, announcement)
