Comment 4 for bug 106501

I think that if a project has artifacts (bug reports, translations, etc), it is less likely that a month's inactivity means it is abandoned for good. For artifact-less projects, we may end up with something like: friendly query after two weeks, warning after six weeks, deletion after two months. For projects with artifacts we may end up with something like: friendly query after six months, warning after 17 months, deletion after 18 months. But what the exact periods should be, and how similar they should be, I think we can learn only by slowly ratcheting down as I described in the original report.

As for deletion vs. deactivation, part (though not all) of the point of doing this at all would be to free up the project IDs for more worthy projects. We could rename such projects to projectid-deleted, or we could actually delete them.
