Hum, my english is really bad.

I was talking about «  temporary discarding », not definitive one.

So, I was talking about was seems to happend frequently :
- a registration with incomplète information about licensing or whatever
- you reject it and write a mail explaining why, asking the author to 
redo the registration process with the informations needed


In fact, this could be simply a bash script that use mail function 
(mailx package, on my box) and mysql.

for example
#!/bin/sh
PROJECT="$1"
echo "about your project ($PROJECT) registration" > tmp_mail
# admin explaining the problem
$EDITOR tmp_mail
# we add the standard responses with all the informations about 
possibles problems
# and how to register again succesfully
cat standard_response >> tmp_mail
# get savannah user email via mysql
USEREMAIL="_i dont know how to do this_"
# send a mail
mail -s "$PROJECT registration" $USERMAIL -c address@hidden < 
tmp_mail
# remove registration
mysql -e ....



It's not a big deal, I was just thinking about this, since you seem to 
write the same kind of precisions frequently :)
