Shutdown, as in make read-only or?  I'd hate to lose anything that may be
valuable in it.

I think we need to be clear when we suggest shutting it down that if someone is

way to enable a bug tracking system.  But it's only for components, projects
that have an active maintainer, someone responsible for dealing with the bugs.
