Are those actually just mirrors, or is it likely that they're now the only accessible copies of that stuff? I'd be kind of inclined to keep such data just for archival reasons. Doesn't mean it has to be easily accessible of course, and we should make sure it's presented as historical rather than current projects.
They are no longer being actively updated, no. For gborg there definitely doesn't exist anything else. For pgfoundry I don't know exactly how dead it is. But the last sync was pulled sometime in 2013.
I haven't done anything to the FTP entries, since they are as mentioned quite possibly the only copy of some of this stuff.
Perhaps we should drop a README file ínto the pub/projects directory explaining that content in these directories can be expected to be out of date? It won't help people following deep links into it, but at least it might do something?
