The project may have valuable artefacts for the community. We do not
deactivate a project with code, or bugs for example because they are
valuable to more that just the owner. If the owner does not want to
maintain the project, he can give it to Registry Admins, or another
user.

Given the high number of still-born projects (no artefacts), I think we
should consider allowing these project be deactivated on user demand or
automatically after 12 months.
