[development] Removing modules from Drupal.org

[Joel Willers]

In my mind, I just had a scenario play out wherein someone covets their project name, while their nemesis plots stealing it. Taking the name is an important first step for a project. I can see why the policy is in place.

Yeah; I got a bit too helpful; apparently there is one care where there is a reason to the steps (namely preventing account spoofing). Although, I still don't see the argument in not deleted totally empty projects; which there are a decent amount of.  If there's code, sure, save it.  If it's empty, someone else can make a new project anyways so there's no loss.
