Title:
  Time delay the deletion of a group

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When a group is deleted, it is gone forever and its content cannot be
  retrieved except from a server backup file under great pains.

  The group admin may wish to delete a group (there is already a
  wishlist item at bug 962586 to say who has deleted a group), but that
  doesn't mean that individual group members may not wish to keep some
  artefacts from the group or copy a page into their own portfolio if
  they haven't done so already.

  Therefore, I propose to be able to delay the deletion of a group as
  configurable by a site admin. The site admin could then decide to
  delay the deletion of a group by a certain number of hours / days.
  This is similar to the warning time for expiry of an account just with
  different time frames.

  Group members would then receive a notification when the group admin
  is about to delete a group they are a member of with the amount of
  time they have left to save certain artefacts or pages or even PDFs of
  forum discussions.

  A second notification is sent when the group has finally been deleted.

  When a group admin decides to delete a group, a pop-up notice inform
  the admin about the time delay.

  Site administrators can overwrite the deletion of a group and delete
  it immediately from the admin interface, e.g. when it is an offensive
  group and needs to be removed immediately.
