Actually ... what if we were to establish an area under incubator/, which we
need anyway for podlings that get retired, and allow whichever PMCs are
currently responsible for them to move all retired codebases to there?  If
people come along in the future and want to revive them, this is the right
place to rebuild community.  And having it here rather than, for example,
some "museum.apache.org" location provides a tacit statement that it is
available for rebirth if such a community were to come along.

Why move codebase?? Although it is a relative small effort, but is there any 
point in it?

Update the status page and the "homepage" with the 'retired' status should be 
enough, right? Perhaps with a link to some "HowTo Revive" page...

The "if people come along..." sentence is a very good point.  I like this idea.
