Dead projects

There seems to be a process for creating new projects but what about
removing projects that have lost their community.  Can a project ever be
removed from jakarta?  Under what conditions should a project be declared
dead (as opposed to being mostly feature complete).

Regards,

If you remove a project which has lost a community, it will never have the
ability to gain a community back.

If there was a project which you wish there was a community for, then there
is your itch. :-)

The most I think one could do is 'relegate' a project to the commons.
