If the request is because the project is hosted elsewhere, keeping it
creates confusion.

If the project was created by mistake, there is no problem removing it.

Otherwise

Looks like SF had the same policy

So, since Samuel imported all of his repositories to Gna, we (the free  
software community) are not losing any data, and we fall in case #1.
So we can delete the projects.

As for the other project clean-up, I guess we can do it, unless that  
"whole lot of crap" is actually of interest.

Any comments?
