-Removing an existing project
-============================
+# Removing an existing group
 
-If a project has had nontrivial content of any sort created in it
-(source code, bug reports, etc.), we will not remove it from Savannah.
-Only essentially empty projects, or those approved by mistake, will be
-removed.
+If a group has nontrivial material of any sort (source code, bug
+reports, etc.), we will not remove it from Savannah.  Only essentially
+empty groups, or those approved by mistake, will be removed.
 
 If developers wish to move continuing work off Savannah, various changes
-can be made in the Savannah project to minimize confusion, for example:
+can be made in the Savannah group to minimize confusion, for example:
 
-- change the project description to say it's moved.
-- change the project status to Undefined.
-- make repositories read-only, via a support request.
+- change group description to say it's moved;
+- change group status to Undefined;
+- set tracker access level to 'Nobody'.
 
-Administrative steps for removal
---------------------------------
+## Administrative steps for removal
 
--   Authentify the project administrator (eg. have him/her send a GPG
-    signed confirmation)
--   Mark it as deleted in Savane, so nobody change it
--   Ask the project admin about deleting the mailing lists
--   run `infra/maintenance/delete_project.sh` PROJNAME  # probably doesn't work
-    -   a backup of the project's sources will be put in
-        `~/deleted-projects/`
-    -   ??? mailing lists are still present in the database after
-        project deletion, we should remove them as well
+The technical steps may be incomplete; use your and other
+Savannah admins' experience.
+
+- Make sure the request is valid: 
+  - it comes from an admin of the group and the group is empty
+    or its data is available from somewhere else, or
+  - it originates from the GNU Project and was carefully considered.
+- Ask group admin about deleting the mailing lists.
+- Mark it as deleted in Savane.
+- Move repositories to backup area (probably somewhere in ~root
+  of the vcs machine).
+- Remove mailing lists if needed.
