If it is the consensus of the RT PMC that the project is dead, then
I recommend that we engage in a termination review. We don't require
much in terms of documentation, just a short paragraph. Something
along the lines of:
"No commit activity in CVS since November 2010. No apparent
committer activity on the project forum for at least two years. No
dev list activity in more than a year. The project appears to have
been inactive for more than two years."
Combined with a list of activities that need to be undertaken.
Archive the repository, downloads, web site, mailing list, forums.
That sort of thing.
I can help.
It'd be nice if the PMC could reach out to the project (via the dev
list) to see if there is any hint of life.

I also think it is time to remove the CVS and SVN links from the
page. Thanks Wayne.

imo, smoke the top level project bits you want to and as for the
other project, it does look pretty long in the tooth, imo just
migrate it to a git repo and let it sit for a while to see if
anyone picks it up down the road. no harm in having it lay in a
git repo untouched, and makes it easy for someone to fork and
spruce up if they do desire.
cheers,

Hey RT PMC!
The Git Migration Wall of Shame [1]--which is really just the
project status page with filtering to show projects that list
CVS repositories, but no Git repositories in their project
metadata--has two entries for RT.
The first is the RT top-level project itself. I think that it
might be time to remove the root CVS directory from the list.
The SVN root that's listed is bogus, it should also be removed.
I can remove these if you'd like. Let me know.
FWIW, I am planning to add functionality to these pages that
will automatically roll up the Dash statistics of the
subprojects; this should hopefully happen this fall. I believe
that providing the roll up commit activity is the reason why the
CVS and SVN repositories are listed here in the first place.
The only other entry for RT is eRCP. The project appears dead to
me. I think we may have already had this conversation, but I
don't recall the current state (I have this sort of "it looks
dead to me" discussion with a lot of projects). Is it time to
terminate eRCP?
Thanks,
Wayne
