Perhaps we create two two new products in Bugzilla, one for Obsolete/Deprecated and another for extensions used on WMF wikis. That way the list can be cleaned up slightly and for the WMF one we could perhaps have a separate mailing list for it since apparently some times it's hard to pay attention to reports on wikibugs and sometimes get missed completely and that way people can pay more attention to them.

Really what we need to do is enable product grouping, and move extensions up a level to each be products. Products can changes groups, but components cannot change products (which is how we have them set up now). Then we can enable a Trash-bin type group for retired products. Mozilla does this, it's called their Graveyard.
We can move forward with this, if we'd like. Would want to schedule a window to do it in, would cause a *lot* of bugspam for the mass re-assigning of stuff.
