Remove project CAWS and teams

Asked by Sense Egbert Hofstede

The project CAWS(caws) is inactive and I'd like it to be removed. It's just taking valuable space in launchpads database. ;)
This includes the project:
caws
and the teams:
caws-test
caws-dev
caws-bugs

Thanks in advance.

Let me explain how this can be done.

First, deactivate the mailing lists for all teams. This will archive the Mailman data structures. Then, manual database hackery will be needed to unlink the MailingList row from the team. The hack I'd employ would be to set the MailingList.team for each of these to some never-to-be-used team, or maybe better, to set the Person.teamowner to NULL. A longer term option would be to add a new MailingListStatus enum which effectively means "pretend this mailing list doesn't exist", but that'll require a code change.

OK, I've deactivated the mailists after I unsubscribed myself from it. I don't think there was ever an email sent to one of those lists.

I actually pressed the need more information button but now selected your answer again as sufficent. But now it suddenly gives a default reply! Not very personal! :P

Anyway, sorry for the mail noise.
